Tuberculosis remains a global health problem, primarily in developing countries with inadequate health services. A significant portion of tuberculosis in these settings is extrapulmonary, including tuberculosis of the genitourinary tract. Patients with genital tuberculosis are usually young women detected during work up for infertility. After menopause, tuberculosis of the endometrium is a rare possibility probably because of the decreased vascularity of the tissues. We present a case of endometrial tuberculosis with postmenopausal vaginal bleeding.
结核病仍然是一个全球性的健康问题,主要存在于卫生服务不足的发展中国家。在这些地区,相当一部分结核病是肺外结核,包括泌尿生殖道结核。患有生殖器结核的患者通常是在不孕症检查过程中被发现的年轻女性。绝经后,子宫内膜结核的可能性很小,可能是因为组织血管减少。我们报告一例绝经后阴道出血的子宫内膜结核病例。
