Pelvic Pain / Inflammation Specialist in New York, NY – Rosh MFM

Pelvic Pain / Inflammation

Pelvic pain is one of those conditions that can quietly take over your daily life. It affects personal relationships, drains your energy, and can signal underlying conditions that deserve proper medical attention.

At Rosh Maternal & Fetal Medicine, our physicians take pelvic pain seriously. Rather than offering temporary relief, we investigate what is driving your discomfort and develop a treatment plan based on the underlying cause.

Some of the conditions behind pelvic pain can lead to complications like infertility if left unaddressed. Call our Midtown East office or book an appointment online to get started.

Pelvic Pain and Inflammation: Understanding the Condition

Pelvic pain refers to any pain felt in the region below your belly button and between your hips. It can present as a sharp or severe sensation, a dull, persistent ache, or something closer to cramping or pressure.

Some patients experience pain that arrives suddenly, while others deal with chronic discomfort that comes and goes over months or years. Pain may spread across the entire pelvic area or concentrate in one specific spot.

The complexity of pelvic pain lies in how many different conditions can produce it, and how often multiple contributing factors exist at the same time. Accurate diagnosis requires a thorough evaluation, and that is exactly the approach our team takes.

Recognizing the Symptoms of Pelvic Pain

Symptoms vary widely depending on the underlying cause, but common presentations our physicians evaluate include:

• Persistent or recurring pain in the lower abdomen or pelvis
• Pain during or after intercourse
• Pain during menstruation or between periods
• Painful urination or bowel movements
• A feeling of pressure or heaviness in the pelvic region
• Sudden, sharp pain that may indicate a ruptured cyst
• Bloating or abdominal discomfort alongside pelvic pressure

If any of these symptoms feel familiar, an evaluation with one of our physicians can provide the answers you have been looking for.

What Causes Pelvic Pain?

Pelvic pain rarely comes from a single straightforward cause. Many patients present with multiple overlapping conditions that each contribute to their discomfort. The most common causes our team diagnoses and treats include the following.

• Endometriosis: Tissue similar to the lining of your uterus grows outside of it. It’s often on the ovaries, fallopian tubes, or other pelvic structures. This tissue thickens and bleeds with each menstrual cycle but has no way to exit the body. It may lead to painful scar tissue, cysts, and significant discomfort that can worsen over time.
• Pelvic Inflammatory Disease (PID): PID develops from an infection of the reproductive organs, typically spread through intercourse. Beyond causing pelvic pain, untreated PID can lead to scar tissue formation and infertility.
• Salpingitis and Other Inflammatory Conditions: Infections beyond PID can also produce pelvic pain through inflammation. Salpingitis (an inflammation of the fallopian tubes) is an example of an ongoing infection that can cause persistent discomfort.
• Uterine Fibroids: These noncancerous growths develop in the uterine wall. When large, it can cause pain and a sensation of pressure or fullness in the pelvis.
• Ovarian Cysts: Fluid-filled sacs on or within the ovaries can cause ongoing pelvic discomfort. A ruptured cyst brings sudden, severe pain that requires prompt medical attention.
• Interstitial Cystitis: Also called painful bladder syndrome, this condition causes abdominal and pelvic pain that typically intensifies when the bladder is full.

Conditions We Treat

Our team evaluates and treats a wide range of gynecologic conditions linked to pelvic pain and inflammation, including:

• Endometriosis
• Pelvic inflammatory disease (PID)
• Uterine fibroids
• Ovarian cysts
• Salpingitis
• Interstitial cystitis
• Pelvic adhesions
• Recurrent pregnancy loss related to structural pelvic abnormalities

If your symptoms point to a less common cause, our diagnostic process continues until we identify the underlying issue.

Treatment Options for Pelvic Pain

Treatment depends entirely on what is driving the pain. After a thorough evaluation, our physicians may recommend one or more of the following approaches.

• Medication: Pain-relief medications, anti-inflammatory drugs, and hormonal therapies can address conditions in which monthly hormonal fluctuations contribute to symptoms. Antibiotics treat infections such as PID and salpingitis effectively when caught early.
• Minimally Invasive Surgery: Fibroids, ovarian cysts, and endometrial tissue can often be removed through laparoscopic surgery. This approach uses small incisions, results in minimal scarring, and allows for a faster recovery compared to open surgery. Our surgeons bring extensive experience in laparoscopic gynecologic procedures.
• Ongoing Monitoring: Some conditions benefit from a watchful approach, particularly smaller cysts that may resolve on their own. Our team monitors these cases closely and adjusts the treatment plan as needed.
