Pelvic Pain Evaluation and Treatment
Pelvic pain can significantly affect daily life and may have many possible causes.
Our comprehensive evaluations help identify the underlying problem and determine the most effective treatment strategy. When surgery is required, many conditions can be managed using minimally invasive techniques that reduce discomfort and speed recovery.
Minimally Invasive Gynecologic Surgery
When surgery is necessary, our philosophy is simple: achieve the best outcome with the least disruption to your life.
Drs. Pelosi are internationally recognized pioneers in minimally invasive gynecologic surgery and helped develop many of the techniques used today.
Routine Vaginal SurgeryCare
Vaginal surgery is often the least invasive surgical approach because it avoids abdominal incisions altogether.
This approach may be used for:
- Vaginal prolapse repair
- Urinary incontinence procedures
- Hysterectomy
- Selected fibroid procedures
Benefits may include less pain, faster recovery, and no visible abdominal scars.
Hysteroscopy
Hysteroscopy uses a slender camera inserted through the cervix to evaluate and treat conditions within the uterus.
This procedure can often diagnose and treat causes of abnormal bleeding without the need for major surgery.
Single-Incision Laparoscopic Surgery
Unlike traditional laparoscopy, which typically requires several abdominal incisions, single-incision laparoscopy uses a single hidden incision within the navel.
Drs. Pelosi helped develop and refine this advanced technique and have taught it to physicians worldwide.
Single-incision laparoscopy can be used to treat:
- Fibroids
- Endometriosis
- Ovarian cysts
- Pelvic pain
- Tubal disorders
- Selected hysterectomy cases
The result is often less visible scarring, less discomfort, and a faster recovery.
Mini-Laparotomy
Some conditions require an abdominal incision but do not require a large traditional operation.
A mini-laparotomy uses a much smaller incision while still allowing effective treatment of selected gynecologic conditions. This approach may provide a more comfortable recovery and quicker return to normal activities.
Fibroid and Abnormal Bleeding Treatment
Uterine fibroids are extremely common and can cause symptoms including:
- Heavy bleeding
- Pelvic pressure
- Pain
- Frequent urination
- Abdominal enlargement
Because every woman’s fibroids are different, treatment must be individualized.
Medical Management
Many women benefit from hormonal therapies that can reduce bleeding and improve symptoms.
Options may include:
- Oral medications
- Injectable medications
- Hormonal IUDs
For some patients, medical treatment can delay or even eliminate the need for surgery.
What Is Endometrial Ablation?
For selected women with abnormal uterine bleeding, endometrial ablation can reduce or eliminate menstrual bleeding by treating the lining of the uterus.
This procedure is generally intended for women who have completed childbearing.
Uterine Fibroid Embolization (UFE/UAE)
Some fibroids can be treated without surgery through uterine artery embolization.
This procedure blocks the blood supply to fibroids, causing them to shrink and improve symptoms over time.
We provide comprehensive evaluations and coordinate treatment when embolization is an appropriate option.
Urinary Incontinence and Vaginal Prolapse
Urinary leakage and vaginal prolapse are common conditions that can significantly affect quality of life.
Many women are surprised to learn that effective treatment often does not require surgery.
Urodynamic Testing
Urodynamic testing evaluates bladder and urinary function and helps identify the specific cause of urinary symptoms.
Accurate diagnosis allows treatment to be tailored to your individual condition.
Medication Therapy
Certain forms of urinary leakage can be effectively managed with medication, helping women return to normal activities without surgery.
Pelvic Floor Therapy
Pelvic floor strengthening can improve:
- Urinary leakage
- Vaginal prolapse
- Pelvic support
- Pelvic floor function
Many women perform Kegel exercises incorrectly. We help patients learn effective techniques and determine whether additional therapies may be beneficial.
Pessary Therapy
A pessary is a soft, removable device placed within the vagina to provide support for prolapse and selected types of urinary leakage.
For many women, pessaries provide excellent symptom relief without surgery.
Surgical Treatment
When surgery is necessary, we offer a full range of advanced reconstructive procedures tailored to your specific condition and goals.
Our extensive experience in vaginal and minimally invasive surgery allows us to develop individualized treatment plans designed to achieve durable, effective results.
