Do I need surgery for pelvic pain?

Persistent pelvic pain is an exceedingly complex condition and often requires a multidisciplinary treatment approach, which may or may not include surgery. Underlying causes of pelvic pain such as endometriosis, uterine fibroids, and ovarian cysts are typically most effectively managed with gynaecological surgery. Other pelvic pain causes are more appropriately treated with non-surgical interventions, such as pelvic inflammatory disease or urinary tract infections. Dr Sam may refer you to and liaise with other relevant healthcare practitioners, including urologists, gastroenterologists, pain medicine specialists, pelvic floor physiotherapists, dietitians, and your GP.
