Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences (IOSR-JDMS) - Year 2018, Vol 17, Issue 8
Abstract
Introduction: Pelvic pain is abdominal pain located below the level of the umbilicus including frequently lower back pain with or without radiation into the thighs.1 Acute pelvic pain generally implies pain that is of less than 3-month duration in a toxic, ill-appearing and unstable patient or chronic pain that is worsening. When a female in the reproductive age presents with acute pelvic and/or lower abdominal pain, the first diagnoses to consider are those that are life-threatening and would require urgent and/or emergent surgical intervention. Materials and Methods: This study was done on 200 female patients in the department of obstetrics and gynaecology of Medical College, MGM Medical College and hospital during the period from September 2016 to August 2017. The study was divided into two groups: Group 1 included the patients those whose underlying complaint which was backache and had per vaginal discharge (provisionally diagnosed pelvic inflammatory disease) and group 2 included patients who had backache without any known skeletal problem and without per vaginal discharge. Follow up of the patients was done on 2, 4, 8 weeks. Results: Maximum number of female patients were from the age group of 40-50 years compromising of 35.6 % of the total number of female patients visited the OPD with complain of backache. Conclusion: From present study, pelvic inflammatory disease is a major risk factor for causing the low backache in patients and hampering their day to day activities. Female patients with presenting complaint of back pain along with associated complaint of vaginal discharge should be got examined and investigated for underlying gynaecological pathology and should be treated for underlying pathology (PID) along with the conventional treatment of backache.
