Pelvic Pain

On most cases pelvic pain can be treated successfully. This includes pain associated with menstrual periods, ovulation, bladder and bowel function and with intercourse.

Common causes of pain include endometriosis, adenomyosis (endometriosis within the muscle wall of the uterus), pelvic infection, adhesions (scar tissue), ovarian cysts or tumors, and tumors or growths in the uterus.

Sometimes conditions of the bowel tract may cause pain, such as irritable bowel syndrome, colitis or inflammatory bowel disease, chronic appendicitis, gallbladder disease or diverticulitis. Urinary tract infection, stones of the urinary tract and interstitial cystitis may cause abdominal pain. Back or muscle disorders may also excite pain-sensing nerves around the abdomen and pelvis.

At the Advanced Fertility Institute, we specialize in accurately defining the cause of pelvic pain and applying the most effective treatments. We use minimally invasive techniques, including laser laparoscopy and hysteroscopy, to cure the problem without damaging any normal tissue.
