UNASSIGNED: Acute @entity2371 is defined as lower abdominal or @entity2371 of less than three months' duration. It is a common presentation in primary care. Evaluation can be challenging because of a broad differential diagnosis and because many associated signs and symptoms are nonspecific. The most common diagnoses in reproductive-aged @entity1 with @entity12761 are @entity2371 , @entity4134 , @entity697 , @entity42 , @entity5849 , and @entity46 . Among postmenopausal @entity1 , @entity5 must be considered. Findings from the history and physical examination can point to likely diagnoses, and laboratory testing and imaging can help confirm. @entity1 of reproductive age should take a pregnancy test. In early pregnancy, transvaginal ultrasonography and beta @entity1 chorionic gonadotropin levels can help identify @entity5849 and @entity2208 . For nonpregnant @entity1 , ultrasonography or computed tomography is indicated, depending on the possible diagnosis (e.g., ultrasonography is preferred when ovarian pathology is suspected). If ultrasonography results are nondiagnostic, magnetic resonance imaging can be helpful in pregnant @entity1 when @entity697 is suspected. If magnetic resonance imaging is unavailable, computed tomography may be indicated.
