Specific treatment for pelvic pain may include:
- Antibiotic medications
- Anti-inflammatory and/or pain medications
- Relaxation exercises
- Oral contraceptives (ovulation inhibitors)
- Surgery
- Physical therapy
If a physical cause cannot be found, pelvic pain may be diagnosed as a psychological defense or coping mechanism for some type of trauma. In some cases, psychotherapy is recommended. In other cases, a multidisciplinary treatment approach incorporates nutritional modifications, environmental changes, physical therapy, and pain management.
