Our Gynecologists are experienced in managing patients with the dilemma and frustration of chronic pelvic pain. Many patients also complain of irritating voiding symptoms as well as bowel and sexual dysfunction. The cause of this debilitating disorder is unknown and many patients are given a clinical diagnosis of urethral syndrome, interstitial cystitis, endometriosis, and irritable bowel disease.
The treatment of this debilitating disorder is multifactorial and complex. We offer a range of state-of-the-art and unique treatments that include:
- Dietary modifications
- Behavioral therapy and biofeedback
- Bladder/prostate directed pharmacotherapy
- Neuromodulating and muscle relaxant medication cocktails
- Patient-tailored analgesic protocols
- Trigger point treatments
- Botulin toxin injection therapy
- Sacral nerve stimulation (InterStim)
The majority of patients significantly benefit from either single or combination therapy that is carefully tailored to each individual patient. Tremendous patient and physician commitment is necessary in order to maximize treatment efficacy.
