Treatment of Chronic Pelvic Pain
Chronic pelvic pain (CPP) can be a debilitating condition that affects both men and women. It is defined as persistent discomfort in the lower abdomen or pelvis that lasts for six months or more. The causes of CPP are varied and can include musculoskeletal issues, nerve damage, organ-related conditions, and even psychological factors. At our pain management clinic, we specialize in diagnosing and treating chronic pelvic pain with a comprehensive, multidisciplinary approach.
Causes of Chronic Pelvic Pain:
-
Musculoskeletal Disorders: Pelvic floor dysfunction, tight muscles, or postural issues can contribute to persistent pain.
-
Nerve-related Issues: Conditions like pudendal neuralgia or pelvic neuropathies can cause chronic discomfort.
-
Gastrointestinal or Urinary Disorders: Conditions like irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), endometriosis, or interstitial cystitis can also manifest as chronic pelvic pain.
-
Gynecological Causes: Fibroids, ovarian cysts, and endometriosis are common culprits in women.
-
Psychological Factors: Stress and anxiety can exacerbate pelvic pain, creating a vicious cycle.
Treatments for Chronic Pelvic Pain:
At our clinic, we offer a variety of treatment options tailored to the individual’s needs. These include:
-
Physical Therapy: Targeted exercises and pelvic floor therapy to relieve muscle tension and improve mobility.
-
Medications: Pain relievers, anti-inflammatory drugs, and nerve pain medications to manage symptoms.
-
Nerve Blocks & Injections: Procedures like trigger point injections or nerve blocks to provide targeted pain relief.
-
Psychological Counseling: Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and mindfulness techniques to help manage the emotional aspects of chronic pain.
-
Minimally Invasive Procedures: In cases where conservative methods are insufficient, advanced treatments like radiofrequency ablation or spinal cord stimulation may be recommended.
