Women and Pelvic Pain

When it comes to women and pain pelvic pain is often under treated. If she is not speaking up and shouting it can all be chalked up

just what she is supposed to be going through. So the general rule of thumb is to be open with your healthcare provider and to pay attention to the type

of pain. Keep track of the patterns of the pain and the changes in your life that may increase stressors. If your doctor is able to find out what is wrong

you will be treated accordingly. It will be between you and your doctor to come up with a plan for pain management and other treatment plan to manage

the way you deal with the pain.  It is important to know that the pain can range from mild to severe and also has can be difficult during sex. Some people

will use pain medication to alleviate this and if there is no history of drug abuse it can be no problem. Another issue is to be sure that you explore any

history of physical or sexual abuse and then take care of it accordingly; i.e., therapy, CBT, Antidepressants, or biofeedback.
