Description

This clinical guide offers much-needed assistance in pinpointing the cause of acute, chronic, and recurring pelvic pain and recommends the most effective medical or surgical treatment for the pain and the underlying disorder. The chapters present detailed, methodical guidelines for the workup of the patient with chronic pelvic pain and for the diagnosis and treatment of the many disorders that cause pelvic discomfort. The section on diagnosis and treatments follows an organ-based approach, providing the most efficient, cost-effective way to "rule out" various causes of pelvic pain. Appendices include pain maps, pain diaries, pain scales, and depression scales.
