Why would a doctor ask if i had a tubal pregnancy or have had a history of cysts after doing a pelvic ultrasound? i'm having cramps and it hurts down there. i have had this problem for a year but never thought that to say anything.

Many : Many of the questions that we ask as physicians are routine questions that we ask every patient. It can help sort through a differential diagnosis. The questions don't necessarily imply any particular concerns. I am glad that you are seeing a specialist and having an ultrasound for your symptoms, that sounds like an appropriate evaluation.
