What is chronic toa when referring to uterine fibroids diagnosis ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not a fibroid: TOA is tubo-ovarian abscess. This is not a fibroid. It is an abscess involving one tube and ovary that has been present for a long time and usually walled itself off. This requires surgical management because it can't be penetrated by antibiotics but can rupture and spill infection. The tube and ovary are frequently unsalvageable and must be removed. Hope this helps.
