Past stigmata can explain current pelvic pain!
Past events (abuse: s*xual, emotional etc) could explain pelvic pain which should not be dismissed or send a woman straight to psycho-medicines. Women might present with chronic pelvic pain (daily, with periods, with s*x) recurrent urine infections, multiple doctors’ visits, multiple investigations and multiple treatment. And of course most of the times this fragmented approach “coordinated” by the patient fails. A gynaecologist-led coordinated management stands the best chance to help these women by firstly understanding the hidden past event and get it out and secondly offer multidisciplinary care with step by step approach. Women should not lock the past inside them, it cannot be forgotten. Should report it first and the find the team who she feels can help her and disclose it all for her own healing. Only then her pelvic pain (original symptom) can go away.
