Urogenital tuberculosis is a form of tuberculosis that affects the urogenital system.

However, the infection arises insidiously, being potentially asymptomatic for a long period of time.

[1] Urogenital tuberculosis may cause strictures of the ureter, which, however, may heal when infection is treated.

The infection may affect the kidneys, ureter and bladder and may cause significant damage to each.

It usually strikes young adults with tuberculosis in other places of the body as well.
