Male genital tuberculosis

Male genital tuberculosis is a common disease, mostly coexisting with urinary tuberculosis. According to literature statistics, the percentage of simultaneous tuberculosis in these two systems is 50 to 80%, and a single male reproductive system tuberculosis only accounts for 10%. Renal tuberculosis is the most common in urinary male genital tuberculosis. Most male genital tuberculosis is secondary to renal tuberculosis, which mainly occurs in the prostate, seminal vesicles, and epididymis, and occasionally in the testis and penis. The more severe the disease of renal tuberculosis, the more likely it is to have male genital tuberculosis. Because epididymal tuberculosis often has clinical manifestations, it is easy to be detected by patients or doctors early, while prostate and seminal vesicle tuberculosis are more hidden and difficult to find.
