Gynecological causes of acute abdomen.

Abstract

This article focuses on gynecological causes of acute abdominal emergencies, which represent serious conditions requiring prompt diagnosis and treatment. It describes their pathogenesis, clinical presentation, diagnostic procedures, and therapeutic options. As a review paper, its aim is to identify the most common indications for urgent gynecological intervention and to facilitate differential diagnosis in acute zone, particularly within surgical outpatient departments. Gynecological causes are categorized into three main groups: non-infectious, infectious, and emergencies associated with early pregnancy. The article provides a detailed overview of expected findings from lab-oratory tests and transvaginal gynecological ultrasound examination. For each condition, surgical management is described, with laparoscopy being the preferred ap-proach in gynecological cases.
