Pelvic Pain
If you’re experiencing pain in the pelvic region, lower abdomen, lower back or vagina its important to rule out a gynaecological cause. The pain may be related to your menstrual cycle or occurring at other times, perhaps even during intercourse.
A thorough history and physical examination is required to determine the cause and appropriate treatment. In some cases further tests to rule out infection or an ultrasound scan may be recommended.
