Chronic Pelvic Pain

Chronic Pelvic Pain represents non-cyclic pain perceived to be in the pelvic area that has persisted for three to six months or longer and is unrelated to pregnancy. There can be multiple different causes for this type of pain. If the pain seems to emanate from another medical condition, targeting that issue as a priority may help ease or eliminate the pain.

Although women more commonly experience chronic pelvic pain in their lifetime, men can also experience chronic pelvic pain from conditions such as advanced prostatitis.

If your pain is severe enough to disrupt your daily life or if you notice the symptoms of chronic pelvic pain are getting worse, make an appointment with us. The effects of the pain can range from annoyance to severe enough to make you miss work, disrupt your sleep, inhibit your daily activities.
