Chronic pelvic pain can be treated with medication, surgery, and psychotherapy.
Chronic pelvic pain is one of the common symptoms and is defined as pelvic pain that is non-cyclical, lasts for more than 6 months and does not respond to non-opioid medications. It is categorized into acute and chronic. It is mainly due to organic lesions such as adenomyosis, chronic pelvic inflammatory disease, pelvic adhesions, endometriosis, etc., but there are many patients with mild pain and no organic lesions.
Medication is usually used in a combined treatment approach, as it is difficult to achieve the desired effect with only one drug. Examples include painkillers and antidepressants. Laparoscopic surgery can be performed depending on the individual patient’s condition. Those without obvious organic lesions can be treated psychologically, and relaxation therapy and cognitive therapy can be used to eliminate the patient’s doubts. Other therapies, such as physiotherapy, massage, etc., can also be used.
It is recommended to consult a professional doctor for specific cases. The use of drugs should strictly follow the doctor’s instructions.
