Patient's question:
This past year, I've frequently experienced recurring pain in my lower abdomen, especially after sexual activity, which has affected my daily life and marital relationship. After a thorough examination at the hospital, they diagnosed it as chronic pelvic pain. I'd like to know if I can see a pain specialist for this condition?Doctor's answer:
Chronic pelvic pain can be treated by a pain clinic. Pelvic pain is usually caused by chronic pelvic inflammatory disease or pelvic bone deformities and can be treated by a gynecologist or a pain clinic. If you have recurring chronic pain that doesn't improve after gynecological treatment, you can seek pain management and treatment. Rest more during the day and avoid strenuous activities or heavy physical training to prevent worsening the condition. Gynecological conditions can be serious, so patients are advised to seek timely treatment and follow the doctor's advice for symptomatic treatment. At the same time, pay attention to dietary issues and avoid spicy foods to prevent aggravating the condition.
