Treatment of Pelvic Pain
Treatment for pelvic pain will depend on the underlying cause of the pain. In some cases, over-the-counter pain relievers, such as ibuprofen or acetaminophen, may be effective in managing mild to moderate pain. However, if the pain is severe or persistent, a woman should seek medical attention. A healthcare provider may recommend further testing, such as ultrasound or a pelvic exam, to determine the underlying cause of the pain. Treatment options may include antibiotics, hormonal therapy, or surgery, depending on the underlying cause.
In addition to medical treatment, there are some self-care measures that women can take to manage pelvic pain. These may include using heat therapy, such as a warm compress or heating pad, to alleviate pain, practicing relaxation techniques like deep breathing or meditation, and engaging in regular physical activity to help relieve stress and tension in the body.
