Diagnosis of Pelvic Pain
Diagnosing chronic pelvic pain in women involves a comprehensive approach, including a detailed medical history and physical examination.
Diagnostic tests may include pelvic ultrasound, MRI, or CT scans to visualize internal structures. Blood and urine tests can identify infections or other conditions.
Laparoscopy, a minimally invasive surgical procedure, allows direct visualization of the pelvic organs and can diagnose conditions like endometriosis.
Doctors may perform pelvic exams, including a Pap smear, to help assess pain characteristics and impact.
