Chronic Pelvic Pain is frequently caused by more than one problem. It can encompass several different organ systems, each with its own range of symptoms and possible pathologies. Often, more than one problem is present within an individual patient. All must be successfully diagnosed and treated to provide real improvement.

Typically, a thorough evaluation will start with a careful history, a pain-focused exam, and a pelvic ultrasound. Dr. Fenton is particularly committed to the comfort of his patients during exams and procedures. Techniques are employed that provide the best possible patient experience.

Once the sources of pain are identified, the underlying physiology will be investigated with further examination, imaging, and possibly laparoscopic surgery. At that point, an effective treatment plan can be determined. A wide-range of treatment options are available for most problems. Choosing between them in based on a patient’s preferences, patience with prolonged treatment, and reproductive wishes.
