Why is treatment sometimes done earlier than the payment?
When a case is urgent and vital, hospitals often proceed with delivering medical care right away to save a life, even before the finalisation of admission procedures. Usually, when this happens, hospitals put the bill on our credit until the funds are transferred to their accounts. That’s why the chronology can sometimes be in disorder.

About urology
A twisted ovarian cyst occurs when an ovarian cyst causes the ovary to twist around its supporting ligaments, cutting off its blood supply. It presents with sudden, severe lower abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, and sometimes abdominal swelling. This is a surgical emergency, as delayed intervention can lead to ovarian necrosis, loss of fertility, or severe complications. Diagnosis is usually confirmed by pelvic ultrasound, showing an enlarged ovary with a cyst, twisted pedicle, and reduced or absent blood flow on Doppler imaging. Immediate surgical treatment is required to untwist the ovary and remove the cyst, ideally preserving ovarian function.

She presented with sudden, severe lower abdominal pain, associated with nausea, vomiting, and abdominal tenderness. Due to financial constraints, she had a delayed presentation before reaching the hospital. On evaluation, she was diagnosed with a twisted ovarian torsion, a surgical emergency.
