After detailed history, examination, investigations, and ultrasonography, the patients were subjected to laparoscopy Results: Ultrasonography could detect abnormality in 38.33% of patients as compared to Laparoscopy which had abnormal findings in 78.33%. Most common pelvic pathology was PID in 26.67% followed by adhesions in 23.33% cases which could not be detected clinically and on sonography.
