Localization
S. haematobium oviposition may be distributed in pathophysiologically-vital areas in the pelvis. Post mortem studies and histopathological material from surgery in the reproductive tract have shown that S. haematobium may be distributed in all the pelvic organs. Ova are most commonly found in the cervix, followed by the vagina, ovaries, Fallopian tubes, vulva and (rarely) the uterus. There are only a few case reports of severe acute disease (such as ascites) with ovarian schistosomiasis, ectopic pregnancy, and heavy infestation of the uterus during pregnancy.
