Post-coital haemoperitoneum: a downside to intercourse
Abstract
We present the case of a 43-year-old multiparous female patient presenting with post-coital haemoperitoneum secondary to a ruptured uterine fibroid. This is a rare case demonstrating the need to elicit full gynaecological history in patients presenting with an acute abdomen.
