Chronic Pelvic Pain and Pain During Intercourse

Chronic pelvic pain and pain during intercourse are often misunderstood. Many people assume these symptoms are solely related to gynecologic conditions and require surgery. In reality, pelvic pain can have multiple underlying causes. These may include painful bladder syndromes, gastrointestinal issues such as irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), pelvic organ prolapse, or dysfunction of the pelvic and vaginal muscles. Our comprehensive approach involves evaluating all potential sources of pain to provide an accurate diagnosis. We aim to treat the root causes rather than relying on long-term pain medications. Treatment options may include medication, pelvic floor physical therapy, dietary changes, and, when necessary, surgical intervention. Our goal is to provide effective, lasting relief tailored to each individual’s needs.

Pelvic Organ Prolapse (POP) 

​
Pelvic organ prolapse (POP) is a common condition that can lead to pelvic pressure, discomfort, and decreased sexual function. It typically affects women in their 40s and 50s, though it can occur at any age. POP happens when the pelvic organs—such as the bladder, rectum, or uterus—descend and create a noticeable bulge in the vaginal area. Many women first notice this bulging sensation or visible protrusion, which may be accompanied by urinary symptoms, including involuntary leakage. POP can significantly impact quality of life, but effective treatment options are available to relieve symptoms and restore pelvic support.
