Obligatory medical device diagnostics.
- Vaginal ultrasonography (ultrasound using an ultrasound probe inserted into the vagina) [salpingitis (inflammation of the fallopian tubes): fluid-filled tubes (fallopian tubes) with thickened walls and increased blood flow]
- Abdominal sonography (ultrasound examination of the abdominal organs) – for basic diagnostics.
Optional medical device diagnostics – depending on the results of the history, physical examination and mandatory laboratory parameters – for differential diagnostic clarification.
- Computed tomography (CT) of the abdomen (abdominal CT)/pelvis (pelvic CT) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the abdomen (abdominal CT-MRI/pelvis (pelvic MRI)-for differential diagnosis [in reproductive age: prefer MRI].
- Diagnostic laparoscopy – indicated when symptoms are unclear.
