Treatment For Pelvic Pain

Sudden or emerging pain in the pelvic region, below the navel and between the hips, can be a warning sign that there is a problem or infection within the reproductive organs, bowels, bladder, or kidney.

Symptoms

  • Severe or steady cramping or dull pain in the pelvic region
  • A heavy feeling or pressure near the pelvis
  • Painful intercourse or pain during bowel movements
  • Intermittent or constant pain that intensifies after standing long periods

Who is at risk?
Women might manifest pelvic pain because of a gynecologic condition (endometriosis, fibroids, cysts or pelvic adhesions) or because of an infection.

Treatment
A physician will want to assess the circumstances and frequency of the pain and will possibly perform a pelvic exam to gather further evidence. Treatment will range from antibiotics for an infection to surgical correction for growths, cysts, or tumors. If the cause is determined to be irritable bowel syndrome or diverticulitis, lifestyle and dietary changes will likely be part of the directed course.

Emergency Warning Signs: When should I see a doctor?
See a physician if the pain disrupts your daily life or symptoms grow worse over a short period of time (a few days).

Treatment for Pelvic Pain is available now at South Atlanta Urgent Care Clinic in Atlanta.

I was in and out with my toddler. Friendly and knowledgeable staff. Much better than going to the emergency room

Oh my goodness! The staff here were amazing and accommodated us for an unexpected walk up test we needed. Such great service at the end of a long day. Thank you!

Our primary doctor's office closed early today so we decided to go to this urgent care. The staff was very professional and personal with us. My son asked if we could change our provider to this location (which means he was comfortable here) but I was informed by the staff member that they have a provider in Morrow. We will be using their doctor soon as our primary provider. The doctor was great with explaining the issue and electronically sending the prescription to our pharmacy of choice. I will be back if I ever need an urgent care facility.
