Pelvic Pain

Your provider will perform a gentle, focused pelvic exam—only if you're comfortable—and may check for signs of tension, tenderness, or underlying conditions. Depending on your symptoms, we may also recommend imaging (like ultrasound), lab tests, or referrals for pelvic floor therapy. Throughout the visit, you’ll be informed and in control of every step.

We’ll review your findings and create a personalized care plan aligning with your goals. This might include at-home therapies, prescriptions, or follow-up appointments for physical therapy or additional testing. You’ll leave with answers, next steps, and a supportive care team ready to walk the journey with you..

Pain during sex, called dyspareunia, can be linked to pelvic floor tension, endometriosis, hormonal changes, or scar tissue. It’s treatable—and you deserve care that addresses both physical and emotional impacts.

Possibly. Depending on your symptoms, we may use ultrasound, MRI, or minimally invasive procedures like laparoscopy to get clearer answers and personalize your care plan.

Yes. For conditions like endometriosis or ovarian cysts, hormonal contraceptives can reduce inflammation, regulate cycles, and ease pain.
