PY - 2020 T2 - Tintinalli's Emergency Medicine: A Comprehensive Study Guide, 9e AB - This chapter reviews diagnosis and treatment of abdominal and pelvic pain in nonpregnant women, with a focus on gynecologic causes of pain. Even after the possibility of pregnancy is eliminated, abdominal pain in women remains a challenging diagnosis because of physical proximity and overlapping spinal segment innervation and similar symptoms of GI, urologic, and gynecologic organ systems. Discussion of the pregnant woman with abdominal/pelvic pain is found in Chapters 71, “Acute Abdominal Pain,” 100, “Maternal Emergencies After 20 Weeks of Pregnancy and in the Peripartum Period,” and 103, “Pelvic Inflammatory Disease.” SN - PB - McGraw-Hill Education CY - New York, NY Y2 - 2024/11/01 UR - accessemergencymedicine.mhmedical.com/content.aspx?aid=1166535237 ER -
