Acute pelvic pain is a common syndrome in women and is an emergency. Management requires rapid diagnostic evaluation to enable immediate treatment. Blood tests (beta-HCG assay, etc.), bacteriological studies and pelvic ultrasonography may be required. Gynecological problems are the commonest etiology: ectopic pregnancy, miscarriage, PID. The possibility nevertheless remains of appendicitis, sigmoid diverticulitis, UTI or renal colic, all of which are medical or surgical emergencies.
