title: Acute pelvic pain: evaluation and management.
abstract: Acute pelvic pain in women is often a diagnostic dilemma. Obstetrical, gynecological, urological or gastrointestinal causes must be considered. Stabilization, immediate therapy and early consultation are often indicated. If no etiology is found, conservative management with frequent re-evaluation is adequate.
