Hello.
Thanks for choosing HealthcareMagic forum.
Pain in lower abdomen is not always associated with ovaries or uterus. The test PCR for Kochs is a very specific test for tuberculosis commonly known as T.B. It is not necessary that it is T.B. but the exact situation will be clear only after the test results come.
