However, there is a lack of data showing the menstrual patterns of FGTB patients in Indonesia. This study was conducted to describe the menstrual patterns of female patients diagnosed with TB and who have a history of infertility at the Directly Observed Treatment Short Course Polyclinic of Hasan Sadikin Hospital and community health centers in Bandung City.
Method: This is a descriptive observational study using primary data. The subjects were outpatient TB patients with a history of infertility in the Directly Observed Treatment Short Course polyclinic of Hasan Sadikin Hospital and community health centers in Bandung City from 2018 to 2022. Data collection was conducted through questionnaire-based interviews.
Results: Out of 950 TB patients of childbearing age recorded in medical records, 41 patients matched the specified criteria. The menstrual disorders experienced by patients included polymenorrhagia, oligomenorrhea, amenorrhea, prolonged menstrual cycles, irregular cycles, hypomenorrhea, heavy menstrual bleeding, and intermenstrual bleeding.
Conclusion: The most common menstrual disorders in TB patients with a history of infertility were irregular cycles (36.6%), hypomenorrhea (31.7%), and oligomenorrhea (19.5%).
