Madelungâs disease is sometimes misdiagnosed as sialadenitis, an inflammation of the salivary glands. The inflammation may involve any of the glands that make up the salivary gland system (parotid, submandibular and sublingual glands).
However, use of ultrasonographic imaging should never preclude adequate resuscitation or definitive surgical therapy in a patient who is hemodynamically unstable and in whom ectopic pregnancy is strongly suspected. The goal of bedside ultrasonography is to diagnose an intrauterine pregnancy (IUP). Ectopic pregnancy can be reliably excluded in patients with a demonstrated IUP; heterotopic pregnancy remains very rare in patients who are not taking fertility agents.
An IUD is a small, T-shaped device that is inserted into a woman's uterus to prevent pregnancy. Two types of IUDs are available in the US; 1) a copper-containing IUD, and IUDs that release hormones. IUDs must be inserted and removed by a health-care professional. Before having an IUD inserted, you will undergo pregnancy testing and testing to rule out pelvic infection.
