ABSTRACT:
Objective: To find out the correlation between two modalities i.e. USG and DL used in diagnosis of chronic pelvic pain.
Method: One hundred women with chronic pelvic pain attending Gynae OPD were included. They were examined clinically and subjected to USG and DL.
Results: Among the 78 patients with abnormal findings on laparoscopy only 45 had positive USG findings. Though USG had a higher sensitivity for ovarian cysts, laparoscopy was more predictive for other positive findings.
Conclusion: Diagnostic laparoscopy is more sensitive method for diagnosis of chronic pelvic pain.
