How is pelvic pain diagnosed?
Investigative actions and tests will be performing to conclude
the reason of the pelvic pain. Furthermore, your gynecologist
may ask you questions concerning the pain such as:
When and where does the pain arise?
How long the pain does proceeds?
Is the pain connected to your menstrual cycle, urination, and/or
sexual activity?
What does the pain sense like (for example, sharp or dull)?
Under what conditions did the pain commence?

 How abruptly did the pain start?

Added information about the timing of the throbbing and the
occurrence of other indications linked to activities such as
eating, sleeping, sexual activity, and movement can also aid your
doctor in influencing a diagnosis.
Additionally to a total medical record and physical and pelvic
examination, diagnostic procedures for pelvic pain may
embrace:

Blood tests
Pregnancy test
Urinalysis
Culture of cells from the cervix
Ultrasound
Computed tomography (CT or CT scan
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)
Laparoscopy
X-ray
Colonoscopy. A process that permit the doctor to outlook the
whole length of the large intestine, and can habitually assist spot
unusual growths, irritated tissue, ulcers, and bleeding. It engages
interleaving a colonoscope, a long, elastic, lighted tube, in
through the rectum up into the colon. The colonoscope permits
the doctor to sight the lining of the colon, take out tissue for
auxiliary test, and perhaps care for some tribulations that are
exposed.

Sigmoidoscopy. An investigative method that permits the

gynecologist to determine the inside of a share of the large

intestine, and is supportive in highlighting the grounds of

diarrhea, abdominal pain, constipation, unusual growths, and
bleeding. A tiny, bendy, lighted tube, called a sigmoidoscope, is
interleaved into the intestine through the rectum. The span blows
air into the intestine to blow up it and make screening the inner
view easier.
What is the treatment for pelvic pain?

based on:

Your physical condition and medical record

Level of condition

Grounds of the condition

If a physical cause cannot be establish, pelvic pain may be
diagnosed as a psychosomatic defense or coping means for some
kind of suffering. In some scenarios, psychotherapy is optional.
In other scenarios, a gynecologist may suggest a
multidisciplinary cure exploiting several diverse approaches,
counting nutritional variations, geographical changes, physical
therapy, and pain management.
