Conditions like pelvic pain are debilitating and likely to arise from a wide range of causal factors. Your physician performs conclusive tests and diagnoses to determine the underlying causes and the most effective treatment. At Chicago Center for Women’s Health, Denise Molina Furlong MD collaborates with board-certified specialists in women’s health to deliver long-term relief from pelvic pain and other conditions highlighted below.
Causes of Pelvic pain
Pelvic pain may result from systemic causes like;
o Pain in the vagina, cervix, fallopian tubes, ovaries, uterus, bladder, vulva, anus, rectum, pelvic floor muscles, and the abdominal area
o Ovarian causes (tumors, cysts, and twisting of the ovary)
o Vaginal causes (vaginal dryness, cysts, unattended infections)
o Fallopian tube causes (tumors, ectopic pregnancy, and cysts)
o Cervical causes (tumors and infections)
o Vulvar causes (vulvar vestibulitis, vulvodynia, menopausal dryness, infection, or tumors)
o Bladder causes (emptying dysfunction, voiding, tumors, urinary tract infections, painful bladder syndrome, and interstitial cystitis)
