Presentation
Leucocytes in urine were present in 49 (84.5%) patients, and in prostatic secretion in 45 (77.6%) patients. Erythrocytes in urine were present in 31 (53.4%) patients, and in prostatic secretions in 17 (29.3%) patients. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
TB epididymo-orchitis present as difusely enlarged lesions, which may be homogeneous or heterogeneous and can also present as nodular enlarged heterogeneously hypoechoic lesions [ 20 ]. [omicsonline.org]
The usual presentations include infertility, pelvic pain, poor general health and menstrual disturbance. [pathologylearningcentre.uct.ac.za]

Urogenital
- Dysuria
Half of the patients with prostate tuberculosis complained of dysuria, 23 (39.6%) had perineal pain, 34 (58.6%) had flank pain. Leucocytes in urine were present in 49 (84.5%) patients, and in prostatic secretion in 45 (77.6%) patients. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Many other conditions, including a run-of-the-mill urinary tract infection, can cause dysuria, so this symptom is not helpful in diagnosing urinary TB. Hematuria means blood in the urine. [livestrong.com]
He was placed on isoniazid, rifampin, pyrazinamide, and ethambutol, as well as highly active antiretroviral therapy, with improvement of his dysuria and fevers. [sti.bmj.com]
It may present with symptoms such as, dysuria, frequency, hematuria, and hemospermia. Digital rectal examination (DRE) may reveal firm, irregular enlargement, nodularity, or soft areas of necrosis. The nodularity of prostate may mimic. [omicsonline.org]
- Painless Testicular Mass
Clinical findings are variable, but commonly include dysuria with sterile pyuria or a painless testicular mass. Initial diagnosis is often incidentally made on pathological specimens and confirmed with nucleic acid amplification and cultures. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Workup
It mainly affects women during the childbearing period and is often detected incidentally during a workup for infertility. What are the early symptoms of genital TB? Genital TB can be notoriously difficult to detect in the early stages. [mapsofindia.com]
Female genital TB is typically understood as a disease of young women, with 80% to 90% of cases diagnosed in patients 20–40 years old, often during workup for infertility. 5 More recent reports from Sweden and Scotland suggest a trend toward presentation [glowm.com]
In addition, perform a full workup for malignancies if tubercles or ulcers are present away from ureteric orifices, if genital ulcers are present, or with suspicious renal lesions. [emedicine.medscape.com]
All patients presenting for infertility evaluation must be thoroughly examined, but if there are no features suggestive of genital Tb, extensive laboratory workup in form of semen and EPS smear, culture and PCR is probably not required ( 53 ). [tau.amegroups.com]

The patient is likely to be offered treatment to prevent progression to TB disease. This in turn can prevent the spread of TB to others. [nationwidepathology.co.uk]
