Gynaecological emergency: consult a doctor by instant messaging

When should you consult for a gynaecological emergency?

Gynaecological emergencies can lead to serious situations, such as severe pelvic pain, haemorrhaging or obstetric complications. They therefore require immediate attention and prompt treatment. For example, an ectopic pregnancy (or extrauterine pregnancy), where the embryo implants outside the uterus, can cause significant internal bleeding. Without prompt treatment, the patient's life may even be at risk. Typical symptoms can include: vaginal bleeding, one-sided abdominal pain, signs of shock (insufficient blood supply to the organs) in the most advanced cases. Diagnosis may rely on ultrasound scans and hormone level testing, and treatment can range from methotrexate administration to more advanced treatments. Surgery may, for example, be necessary to remove the ectopic pregnancy. Many conditions can cause intense pelvic pain, in particular ovarian torsion or ruptured ovarian cysts. These conditions can indeed disrupt blood flow and lead to ovarian ischaemia. Here too, immediate surgery (such as obstetric surgery) is necessary to avoid serious complications and preserve ovarian function. Finally, other emergencies relate more to pregnancy and childbirth. Obstetric complications can, for example, include premature rupture of membranes or placental abruption. These critical emergencies can jeopardise the health of the foetus and mother and require urgent obstetric surgery. Finally, certain serious infections may require prompt care from a gynaecologist, such as pelvic inflammatory disease. Treatment usually relies on antibiotics. If you have symptoms such as sudden abdominal pain, heavy bleeding or signs of shock (weakness, paleness, rapid heart rate, etc.), we advise you to consult a gynaecological emergency service without delay.
