Pelvic Pain & Endometriosis Clinic
Dr Sherif Tawfeek sat up the Chronic Pelvic Pain Clinic with a group of specialists from a number of different disciplines, who have joined together to provide assistance to women with complex problems of genital and pelvic pain, who are likely to benefit from a combined approach. Pelvic pain can be caused by a number of things, and there are a number of treatments that can assist, depending on the cause. This service has been running for over a year with very good results and excellent feedback.
A holistic approach that considers gynaecological, psychological, pain specialist and dietary factors offers the best chance of a good recovery from long term pelvic pain problems.
Surgery and other medical treatments have an important role to play in the treatment of pelvic pain, and gynaecologists are a key part of the treatment team. Similarly, physiotherapy has a crucial role to play in maintaining muscle strength and flexibility, while also addressing hypertonicity (where muscles become very tight in response to pain).
When pain does not resolve as expected, psychological responses to the pain experience are unavoidable. Anxiety, and avoidance of activities that might increase pain, are commonplace. Problems with low mood issues are also often present. These responses are completely understandable- being in pain over a long period is tough. Psychological problems may remain even after the original medical condition has resolved, and emotional factors can magnify the experience of pain and increase the person’s suffering. Pain in the genital area also has implications for sexual intimacy and thus relationships with partners or spouses.
General health is also very important for effectively managing pelvic pain conditions. Pain can be influenced by diet, and making simple changes to eating habits can lead to increased well-being and reduced inflammation. Input from a dietician can also assist with weight management where this is a part of the clinical picture.
Here arrives surgical expertise in addressing the cause of pain, such as endometriosis, tailored to your symptoms and needs, delivered with specialised proficiency to achieve the best possible outcome.
