Brief Answer:
Need to rule out Genito urinary Tuberculosis.
Detailed Answer:
Hi Mam,
I understand your concern.
Tuberculosis of Genital tract should be strongly ruled out as you have Tuberculosis neck.
Tuberculosis can present with oligomennorrhea and irregular periods.
Hence,I advise you to get an Ultrasound abdomen at the earliest.
Treatment largely depends on the test results.
The need for Anti tuberculous therapy is high in your case.
Post your further queries if any,
