The rate of tuberculosis-concomitant urologic diseases in reproductive-aged women was 77.3% of cases. In women with tuberculosis, the risk factors of urologic diseases may include chronic female genital inflammatory diseases; sexually transmitted infections; menstrual dysfunctions; and female sex hormone imbalance.All reproductive-aged women with extrarenal tuberculosis, irrespective of the location and pattern of a specific process, form a group at risk for urinary tract tuberculosis. The possibilities for the early diagnosis of urinary tract diseases in reproductive-aged women with tuberculosis may be effectively enhanced by comprehensive urological examination. Management tactics for this category of patients should be elaborated jointly with phthisiatrists.
