Addressing Pelvic Pain

Pelvic pain can have many possible causes, ranging from muscle strain and hormonal changes to infections or gynecological conditions. Because pelvic pain can present differently from person to person, a pelvic exam may be an important step in identifying the source of discomfort.
We gather information and determine whether additional testing, treatment, or follow-up is needed. Management options may include monitoring, medication, referral, or further investigation when appropriate.
