Pelvic pain is a broad term for discomfort felt below the belly button and between the hips. Whether acute or chronic, pelvic pain can significantly affect your quality of life. At SHAE Medical Aesthetics, we take pelvic pain seriously and work to identify the root cause so we can provide meaningful relief.
Common Causes of Pelvic Pain
- Endometriosis — uterine-like tissue growing outside the uterus
- Ovarian cysts — fluid-filled sacs on or in the ovaries
- Uterine fibroids — non-cancerous growths in the uterine wall
- Pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) — infection of the reproductive organs
- Interstitial cystitis — chronic bladder pain syndrome
- Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) — gastrointestinal causes of pelvic discomfort
- Musculoskeletal issues — pelvic floor dysfunction or muscle tension
When to Seek Care
You should contact a provider if your pelvic pain is severe, worsening, or accompanied by fever, nausea, or vaginal bleeding. Chronic pelvic pain lasting six months or more also warrants a thorough evaluation. Early diagnosis leads to better outcomes.
Our Approach
Your SHAE provider will take a detailed medical history, perform a pelvic examination, and may order imaging or lab work to identify the source of your pain. We then create a personalized treatment plan that may include medication, hormonal therapy, lifestyle recommendations, or referral to a specialist when appropriate.
You deserve to live without pain. Reach out to SHAE Medical Aesthetics and let us help you find relief.
