Topic: Pelvic Pain

You must post your initial response to the Discussion topic before reviewing your classmate’s responses.

Acute pelvic pain is defined as pain of less than three months duration. Discuss a common diagnosis of acute pelvic pain in a woman of child-bearing years or a woman who is postmenopausal. How does a focused history and physical guide your work up? What labs/diagnostics would you consider? What are your differentials, including your must not miss diagnosis? Is a referral necessary based on your final diagnosis?
