Pelvic pain & painful periods

Investigation and management of persistent pelvic pain and painful periods.

Persistent pelvic pain and painful periods (dysmenorrhoea) have many possible causes, including endometriosis, adenomyosis, fibroids and ovarian cysts. The aim of assessment is to build a complete clinical picture — through history, examination and appropriate imaging — and to explain what may be happening before agreeing a treatment plan that fits your priorities.
