How is chronic pelvic pain diagnosed and treated?

Dr. Gueye will begin by determining the cause of your pain. This begins with a pelvic and abdominal exam and may involve additional tests and procedures. When the responsible condition is diagnosed, she will create a treatment plan to address that issue. Once the condition is identified, a treatment plan designed specifically to address this is put into place. In some cases, surgery could resolve the condition.  If possible, surgery is minimally invasive and carried out through a laparoscopic procedure.
