Differentiating Pelvic inflammatory disease from other Diseases
Culdocentesis will differentiate hemoperitoneum (ruptured ectopic pregnancy or hemorrhagic cyst) from pelvic sepsis (salpingitis, ruptured pelvic abscess, or ruptured appendix).
- Appendicitis
- Ectopic pregnancy - A sensitive serum pregnancy test should be obtained to rule out ectopic pregnancy.
- Hemorrhagic ovarian cyst
- Ruptured ovarian cysts
- Myoma
- Ovarian torsion
- Ovarian tumor
- Septic abortion
- Urinary Tract Infection
- Twisted ovarian cyst
- Degeneration of a myoma
- Acute enteritis
- Urinary Tract Infection [1] [2]
