Abdominal-pelvic pain in gynaecology

Abstract

Abdominal-pelvic pain is a complex entity, at times difficult to diagnose, which requires a deep analysis to determine its causes and the most suitable treatment. It involves different viscera which is why its management must frequently be multidisciplinary and on occasion it requires rapid action as the patient’s life is at stake. This article sets out only the causes with a gynaecological origin since, in our understanding, it corresponds to other specialities to explain the rest of the pathologies. A diagnostic table is set that differentiates amongst the most frequent causes of pelvic pain with a gynaecological origin.
