Chronic Pelvic Pain: Causes & Treatment
Chronic pelvic pain refers to persistent and recurring pain experienced in the area below the belly button and between the hips. Affecting both men and women, there are numerous potential causes of chronic pelvic pain, including conditions such as endometriosis, pelvic inflammatory disease, irritable bowel syndrome, bladder disorders, and musculoskeletal problems. In some cases, the exact cause may not be identified, making it a challenging condition to diagnose and treat.
Due to the diverse range of possible causes, a comprehensive evaluation is crucial to determine the underlying source of the pain and develop an effective treatment plan. Learn how we treat pelvic pain with the highly-effective PRM Protocol™.
Having pain from endometriosis and other conditions in the pelvic area, such as pain during sex or when using the bathroom, is more common than you might think and affects about 1 in 7 women. Many go for years undiagnosed or misdiagnosed and undergo unnecessary medical procedures that can be harmful and expensive, without resolving their issues.
Living with the pain can severely affect quality of life, including physical function, psychological well-being, and interpersonal relationships.
