Pelvic Pain Treatment in West Delhi

Pelvic Pain-Overview

Pelvic pain refers to pain or discomfort felt in the body region below the navel and between the hips. This pain may be classified as acute, with a short duration and sudden onset, or chronic, on the other hand, lasting for a time period extending to six months or more. In women, these pains are most commonly associated with gynecological conditions. At the same time, those in men might relate to urological conditions or musculoskeletal issues. Nevertheless, in both sexes, the origin of pelvic pain could be gastrointestinal, neurological, or musculoskeletal.

Diagnosis of Pelvic Pain

At Dr Ekta's Pain Management Clinic, our specialists will employ a multidimensional diagnostic approach to elucidate the source of pelvic pain.

• Medical History & Examination: Evaluation of onset, triggers, and duration of pain.
• Imaging Tests: Ultrasound scans, MRIs, or CT scans to check for cysts, fibroids, or structural abnormalities.
• Blood & Urine Tests: To rule out infections and systemic conditions.
• Laparoscopy: To directly visualize the pelvic organs for selected gynecological cases.
• Pelvic Floor Assessment: Muscle dysfunction investigation.
• Diagnostic Nerve Blocks: To verify neuropathic sources of pain clinically.
