Bladder pain can be due to any infection or inflammation of the bladder. If you are directly asking for TB of urinary tract then we presume that the normal causes are ruled out and you are following all urinary hygine and having normal amout of water and also ensuring personal hygine
Next Steps
If all the above is followed then it's right to check for the AFB in urine
Health Tips
Drink enough water and avoid using public washrooms
