Hi
Uterus can be affected by tuberculosis, it may be isolated or may be a part of disseminated tuberculosis as your case may be.
Usually when uterus is affected by tuberculosis it causes amenorrhoea or stoppage of period.
But it can also cause irregular periods.
But you don't have to worry as your getting the treatment of tuberculosis already as if uterus is affected the treatment will remain same.
But the worry is that it can cause infertility and for that u must consult a gynaecologist immediately to look after that.
