Pelvic Pain

Female pelvic pain describes pain that affects the lower abdomen and pelvis. Our site focuses on long-lasting (chronic) pelvic pain- defined as pain that has persisted for 6 months or more.

We have developed a multi-modal therapeutic approach for treating chronic pelvic pain including:

1. pain injections
2. pelvic floor rehabilitation and therapy
3. bladder instillation
4. medicinal treatments

 

Female pelvic pain symptoms include:

  • Severe to mild pain
  • Vague to sharp pain
  • Severe menstrual cramps (dysmenorrhea)
  • Low backache 1 or 2 days before the start of the menstrual period (or earlier), subsiding during the period
  • Pain during sexual intercourse (dyspareunia)
  • Painful urination
  • Rectal pain
  • Pain during bowel movements
  • both acute and chronic forms

Symptoms that can accompany pelvic pain, depending on the cause, include:

  • Blood in the urine or stool
  • Vaginal bleeding after intercourse
  • Heavy or irregular vaginal bleeding
  • Pain with intercourse
  • May be associated with bowel bladder or menstrual problems
