Abdominal and Pelvic Pain | Pain and Spine Specialists
Abdominal or pelvic pain refers to discomfort that occurs in the lower torso area, between the chest and groin. This pain can range from mild to severe, acute to chronic, and may be constant or intermittent, sharp or dull, cramp-like, or more generalized. The nature of the pain and its location can provide clues about what may be causing it.
While abdominal or pelvic pain can affect individuals of any age, gender, or race, it tends to be more common in women. Certain conditions causing this type of pain, such as endometriosis or pelvic inflammatory disease, are specific to women. However, both men and women can suffer from conditions like irritable bowel syndrome or urinary tract infections, which can also cause abdominal or pelvic pain.
Most patients with abdominal pain prefer to be treated by specialists who have the knowledge and expertise to diagnose and treat their condition accurately. Our abdominal and pelvic pain specialists understand how debilitating abdominal or pelvic pain can be. We are committed to diagnosing the source of your pain and developing a personalized treatment plan to help you regain control of your life.
Some common pelvic pain symptoms include:
-Pain: This pain could be constant or intermittent, sharp or dull, cramp-like, localized or widespread throughout the abdominal or pelvic area.
-Digestive Issues: Digestive issues including nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, constipation, or bloating can cause abdominal or pelvic pain.
-Urinary Symptoms: There might be changes in urination, such as increased frequency, urgency, or pain during urination, which increases pelvic or abdominal pain.
-Menstrual Irregularities: In women, changes in menstrual patterns such as unusually heavy periods, painful periods, or spotting between periods could be related.
-Fever: An elevated body temperature could indicate an infection or other medical condition causing the pain.
The severity of these symptoms can range from mild to severe. Mild symptoms might cause discomfort but don't interfere significantly with daily activities. Moderate symptoms might require over-the-counter medications and rest, while severe symptoms might be debilitating, preventing normal functioning and necessitating immediate medical attention.
Abdominal and pelvic pain can be complex and may require various treatment approaches. Our team at Pain and Spine Specialists offers many different types of treatment to get you back at your best.
Injection therapies can help to alleviate localized pain in the abdominal or pelvic region, such as:
Trigger Point Injections: Trigger point injections can help manage muscle pain in the abdominal or pelvic area.
Epidural Steroid Injection: An epidural steroid injection can help reduce inflammation and pain originating from the spine that radiates to the abdominal or pelvic area.
Sacroiliac Joint Injections: Sacroiliac joint injections can help treat pain caused by sacroiliac joint dysfunction, which can manifest as lower back, hip, groin, or pelvic pain.
Celiac Plexus Block Injections: This injection works by targeting the nerves of the celiac plexus, reducing inflammation in the area and numbing nerve endings that transmit pain signals from abdominal and pelvic organs.
Hypogastric Plexus Block Injections: This injection works by targeting the nerves of the hypogastric plexus, reducing inflammation in the area and numbing nerve endings that transmit pain signals from abdominal and pelvic organs.
Advanced interventional procedures are typically used for chronic pelvic pain syndrome treatment. For example, spinal cord stimulation can potentially help with chronic pelvic pain by disrupting the pain signals sent to the brain.
