Chronic Pelvic Pain

Chronic Pelvic Pain Treatment Dhaka | Pelvic Floor & Abdominal Pain Relief - AdvanCell

Chronic Pelvic Pain (CPP) is a deeply personal and often debilitating condition, defined as persistent or recurrent pain in the pelvic region, lower abdomen, or perineum that has lasted for six months or more. For many, it's a frustrating and isolating experience, as the cause can be elusive, symptoms are often misunderstood, and the impact on daily life, relationships, work, and emotional well-being can be immense. It is crucial to understand that chronic pelvic pain is a real and complex condition that requires a thorough, integrated approach, not simply "in your head."

At AdvanCell in Dhaka, we deeply empathize with the challenges of living with chronic pelvic pain. Our specialized team of pain management experts, including physicians, physiotherapists, and a network of allied health professionals, offers a comprehensive, multidisciplinary, and highly personalized approach to accurately diagnose and effectively treat your chronic pelvic pain. Our commitment is to validate your experience, identify the contributing factors, reduce your symptoms significantly, improve your function, and enhance your overall quality of life.

Who Benefits from Our Chronic Pelvic Pain Management Program? Do You Need Help?

You could significantly benefit from our empathetic and expert guidance for chronic pelvic pain if you are experiencing:

• Persistent Pelvic Pain: Below your belly button, in the groin, perineum, genitals, buttocks, or inner thighs for six months or longer.

• Pain with Daily Activities: Such as sitting, standing, walking, exercising, or driving.

• Pain with Bodily Functions: Discomfort during urination (similar to Interstitial Cystitis), bowel movements, or sexual activity.

• Unexplained Abdominal or Pelvic Discomfort: Even after consulting other specialists.

• Associated Symptoms: Including bladder urgency/frequency, constipation, painful periods, or general muscle tenderness in the pelvis.

• Diagnosed Conditions: Such as Endometriosis (post-surgical or ongoing pain), Interstitial Cystitis/Painful Bladder Syndrome, Prostatitis (chronic non-bacterial), Pelvic Floor Dysfunction (overactive/underactive), Pudendal Neuralgia, or painful scar tissue after surgery.

• Frustration with Diagnosis: Feeling unheard or struggling to find effective solutions.

• Impact on Emotional Well-being: Experiencing anxiety, depression, or stress related to your pain.

Understanding Chronic Pelvic Pain: A Complex Challenge

Chronic pelvic pain is not a disease itself, but rather a complex pain syndrome with multiple potential contributing factors that often interact. It can arise from various body systems:

• Musculoskeletal System: Pelvic floor muscle dysfunction (tightness, weakness, spasm), myofascial trigger points in abdominal, pelvic, hip, or lower back muscles, sacroiliac joint dysfunction, hip pathology, nerve entrapment (e.g., pudendal neuralgia).

• Gynecological System (for women): Endometriosis, adenomyosis, fibroids, pelvic inflammatory disease, painful periods, adhesions from previous surgeries.

• Urological System: Interstitial Cystitis/Painful Bladder Syndrome, chronic urinary tract infections (after ruling out active infection).

• Gastrointestinal System: Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS), inflammatory bowel disease, chronic constipation.

• Neurological System: Central sensitization (where the nervous system becomes overly sensitive to pain signals), nerve injury or irritation.

• Psychological Factors: Chronic stress, anxiety, depression, or trauma can significantly impact pain perception and persistence, creating a vicious cycle with physical symptoms.

A comprehensive approach is essential because treating only one aspect often fails to provide lasting relief.

How We Help: Our Integrated Chronic Pelvic Pain Management Programs

Our Chronic Pelvic Pain Management programs at AdvanCell are designed for comprehensive relief and lasting recovery:

1. Comprehensive Multidisciplinary Assessment:

• Detailed Medical History: A thorough discussion covering your pain characteristics (location, intensity, triggers), gynecological history, urological symptoms, bowel habits, sexual health, past surgeries, trauma, and emotional well-being.

• Thorough Physical Examination: Including musculoskeletal assessment of your lower back, hips, pelvis, and abdominal area. A specialized pelvic floor physiotherapist may conduct an internal or external assessment if appropriate, to evaluate muscle tension, trigger points, and coordination.

• Review of Previous Tests & Diagnoses: We analyze all past imaging (ultrasound, MRI), lab tests, and specialist reports.

• Collaboration & Referral: We liaise with your existing specialists (gynecologist, urologist, gastroenterologist) and refer to others if necessary to ensure all angles are covered.

2. Personalized Treatment Plan Development:

• Based on your precise diagnosis and the identified contributing factors, we create a multi-modal treatment strategy uniquely tailored to your needs.

3. Targeted Physiotherapy & Rehabilitation (Often a Cornerstone):

• Specialized Pelvic Floor Physiotherapy: Manual therapy (internal or external), biofeedback, down-training tight muscles, strengthening weakened muscles, and coordination exercises for the pelvic floor.

• Myofascial Release & Trigger Point Therapy: Addressing muscle knots and tension in the pelvic floor, abdomen, hips, and lower back muscles.

• Postural Correction & Core Stabilization: Improving overall body mechanics to reduce strain on the pelvic region.

• Breathing and Relaxation Techniques: To reduce muscle tension and calm the nervous system.

4. Advanced Pain Relief Therapies:

• Therapeutic Massage: To alleviate tension in related muscle groups.

• Electrotherapy: Such as TENS for pain modulation.

• Wet Needling: Our specialized technique targeting myofascial trigger points in abdominal, pelvic, hip, and lower back muscles to release tension and alleviate referred pain.

• Medication Management (in collaboration with your physician): Guidance on appropriate use of neuropathic pain medications, muscle relaxants, or low-dose antidepressants (for pain modulation) if required, focusing on managing nerve pain and muscle spasm.

• Referral for Nerve Blocks/Injections (If Indicated): For specific nerve pain (e.g., pudendal nerve block) or targeted muscle spasms, a referral for image-guided injections may be discussed and coordinated with a pain specialist.

5. Lifestyle & Self-Management Strategies:

• Stress Reduction Techniques: Guidance on mindfulness, meditation, deep breathing, and referral for Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) or counseling to help cope with chronic pain and related anxiety/depression.

• Sleep Hygiene: Advice on optimizing sleep, as pain often disrupts sleep and vice-versa.

• Dietary Modifications: Counseling on potential dietary triggers for bladder pain (Interstitial Cystitis) or bowel issues (IBS), linking to our Nutrition & Weight Management services if needed.
