Miss Tipples will assess pelvic pain based on its cause, duration, severity and specific factors. Swabs, ultrasound scan / imaging, bloods, PV examination will usually be carried out as a minimum (unless already done so by GP etc). Treatment options will be based around the presumed cause.
Importantly, not all pelvic pain will have a gynaecological cause. Other causes may be urological, gastrointestinal or musculoskeletal, Miss Tipples works closely with colleagues across all specialities can offer onward referral if required.
Where no clear cause if found she will undertake a multidisciplinary approach. This could include pain management, pelvic physiotherapy and psychological support
