Description

Gonococcal ovarian abscess is a type of infection that occurs when the bacteria Neisseria gonorrhoeae infects the ovaries, leading to the formation of an abscess. This condition can cause severe abdominal pain and may require surgical intervention if not treated promptly.

Interpreter Notes

Interpreters should be aware that they may encounter variants such as 'absceso ovárico por gonococo' in more colloquial contexts, but it is crucial to use the canonical term in formal medical settings. Additionally, confusion may arise with other types of ovarian abscesses, so clarity is essential.
