When “Just Cramps” Becomes an Emergency: Mastering Acute Pelvic Pain in the ED
Proudly sponsored by @GEHealthCare
Case Study to start the session:
It’s 2:14am. A 24-year-old presents with sudden, severe right lower abdominal pain, nausea, and vomiting. Vitals are stable, but she’s guarding. Urine dip is negative, pregnancy test is negative. Is it appendicitis? A ruptured cyst? Ovarian torsion? In the next 20 minutes, ultrasound will decide whether she goes to the OR or home.
That’s the reality of acute pelvic pain in the emergency department, and on 10 July 2026 we’re breaking it down, scan by scan.
Join your chair A/Prof. Ligita Jokubkiene, alongside Prof. Davor Jurkovic, Prof. Ladbans Kaur, and A/Prof. Tina Tellum for this free, 2-hour webinar.
What we’ll cover:
- Key causes on the ED differential: Ovarian torsion, pelvic inflammatory disease, IUD-related complications, ruptured ovarian cysts, ectopic pregnancy, and important non-gynecological mimics like appendicitis, diverticulitis, and urolithiasis
- Risk factors to flag early: Recent ovarian stimulation, prior PID or STIs, presence of an IUD, sudden onset after exercise/intercourse, delayed presentation, and atypical pain in postmenopausal patients
- Complications you can’t afford to miss: Ovarian necrosis and loss of fertility with torsion, tubo-ovarian abscess and sepsis in PID, uterine perforation and migration with IUD issues, and hemodynamic collapse from ruptured ectopic or hemorrhagic cyst
Through real cases and live ultrasound interpretation, our faculty will show you how to use point-of-care ultrasound to triage faster, reduce time-to-diagnosis, and avoid the pitfalls that lead to delayed treatment.
