Pelvic Pain Treatment
in Naples, FL
What Is Pelvic Pain?
Pelvic pain refers to any discomfort experienced in the area below your abdomen and between your hip bones. It can be a sharp, sudden pain or a dull, chronic ache. Rather than a single disease, pelvic pain is often a symptom of an underlying medical condition affecting the reproductive, urinary, or digestive systems.
Common Symptoms of Pelvic Pain
-
Sharp or dull aching in the lower abdomen or pelvis.
-
Pain during or after sexual intercourse (dyspareunia).
-
Heavy, prolonged, or painful menstrual periods.
-
Discomfort or pain during urination or bowel movements.
-
Feeling of pelvic heaviness, fullness, or pressure.
Potential Causes of Pelvic Pain
A wide range of conditions can lead to pelvic pain, and a thorough evaluation is necessary to identify the specific cause. Common culprits include endometriosis, where uterine tissue grows outside the uterus, and uterine fibroids, which are noncancerous growths. Other causes can include pelvic organ prolapse, interstitial cystitis, and pelvic inflammatory disease (PID).
Diagnosing and Treating Pelvic Pain
-
Comprehensive diagnostic evaluation using advanced imaging and physical exams to pinpoint the exact source of pain.

Management of underlying conditions such as endometriosis, uterine fibroids, and pelvic organ prolapse.
