Which ovarian torsion symptom requires urgent gynecologic evaluation?

The answer and the reasoning

D. Sudden severe unilateral pelvic pain with nausea

Ovarian torsion compromises ovarian blood supply and often causes abrupt unilateral pelvic pain with nausea or vomiting; prompt assessment is needed to maximize ovarian salvage.

Option by option

  • A. Chronic gradual hearing loss

    Hearing loss does not indicate adnexal torsion.

  • C. Painless red eye

    A painless red eye has a different ophthalmic differential.
