Upon clinical presentation, there are overlapping gynecological causes of pelvic pain in a non-pregnant female with gastrointestinal and genitourinary pathology. Pelvic ultrasonography is often the first best imaging modality for the initial assessment of non-pregnant women with pelvic pain. Ultrasound can detect any abnormalities in the female pelvic, describe it as gynecological or non-gynecological and differentiate the most different gynecological causes. To evaluate the most prevalent ultrasound findings of pelvic pain in non-pregnant women of reproductive age in Sudan and the age group impacted. In this cross-sectional study, 100 patients were selected from Altamiouz Hospital, Sudan, the period from July 2018 to January 2000 with pelvic pain as non-pregnant women of reproductive age who underwent pelvic ultrasound examination of the pelvis focusing on findings of gynecological and non-gynecological diseases. Data were collected and organized by age group, and ultrasound findings and analyzed using SPSS Version 25.0 statistical software. The study result showed that the mean age of the participants was 30.3 +/- 6.5 years, and the most affected age group was (26-35) years, 52% of all participants. The ultrasound findings showed that the most common cause (31%) of pelvic pain was an ovarian cyst. A weak significant association was noted between causes and female age, p-value (0.03). The study revealed that gynecological cause was the most frequent distribution of all ultrasound findings. Most patients with acute pelvic pain were in the late third decade to the early fourth decade. Ovarian cysts were the leading cause of pelvic pain, followed by PID and uterine fibroid.
