Pelvic Pain

Relief for Pelvic Pain

Pelvic pain is discomfort felt between the belly button and the hips or groin. It is classified as acute if it occurs suddenly and resolves quickly, or chronic if it persists for six months or more. This condition is common, often starting after a woman’s first period and can affect women of all ages. While pelvic pain is widespread, it doesn’t need to be endured without treatment.
If you are experiencing pelvic pain, the expert gynecologists at Coastal Bend Women’s Center will offer the answers you seek. They will diagnose your condition with expertise and compassion, crafting a personalized treatment plan using the latest advanced options, ensuring you can live a pain-free life.

Chronic or acute pelvic pain may be experienced as constant pain or a dull ache in the abdominal area, or pain that comes and goes. It may also include burning or pain with urination, vaginal discharge and discomfort during intercourse. Pelvic pain is often described in one or more ways.

Pelvic pain is most commonly felt as:

  • Burning
  • Cramping
  • Dull and aching
  • Intermittent (comes and goes)
  • Pressure or heaviness in your pelvis
  • Sharp and severe

Acute or chronic pelvic pain may be caused by a variety of conditions, including digestive or urinary tract problems, as well as ovarian, uterine and endometrial disorders. Our gynecologists are experienced in diagnosing a wide range of conditions related to pelvic pain and can offer treatments for lasting relief.

Common causes of acute or chronic pelvic pain include:

  • Abnormal uterine bleeding
  • Appendicitis
  • Diverticulitis
  • Ectopic pregnancy
  • Endometriosis and adenomyosis
  • Interstitial Cystitis
  • Irritable bowel syndrome
  • Neuromuscular issues
  • Ovarian Cysts
  • Painful periods and menstrual disorders
  • Pelvic inflammatory disease
  • Sexually transmitted diseases
  • Urinary tract and bladder infections
  • Uterine fibroids
  • Uterine or cervical cancer

At Coastal Bend Women’s Center, our expert gynecologists meticulously diagnose and treat pelvic conditions using a range of screenings and tests. These may involve blood and urine tests, as well as screenings for sexually transmitted diseases and cancer. Depending on your specific condition, your doctor may employ advanced diagnostic procedures such as laparoscopy, cystoscopy, sigmoidoscopy, intravenous pyelography, X-rays, and MRI or CT scans.

We may also recommend that you see a gastroenterologist or urologist if the condition does not appear to be gynecological in nature.

Our skilled medical team will develop personalized treatment based on your particular condition or diagnosis and medical needs. If medication and holistic options are not affective, we offer the most advanced surgical options available, utilizing a minimally invasive approach. As the experts in Minimally Invasive Gynecology, our specialists can offer options with faster recovery, less risk and less discomfort, making a better quality of life well within reach.
