When Should You See a Gynaecologist?
Seek medical evaluation if pelvic pain is persistent, recurrent, severe, or associated with abnormal bleeding, fever, unusual vaginal discharge, painful intercourse, vomiting or difficulty passing urine or stool.
Your gynaecologist may recommend a pelvic examination, ultrasound, blood tests or other investigations to identify the underlying cause.
Treatment
Treatment depends on the cause and may include medications, hormonal therapy, antibiotics for infections, or minimally invasive procedures such as laparoscopy or hysteroscopy when indicated.
