How do I know what is actually causing my GI issues?

At PRM, our pelvic pain specialists have a holistic approach to the body, meaning we are looking at the symptoms to find the underlying cause of your discomfort. We will look into all possible causes to ensure we give a proper diagnosis and put you on the right path to healing.

Will my gastrointestinal symptoms go away on their own?

While some GI symptoms such as heartburn or bloating may resolve themselves due to something you’ve eaten, other symptoms may not subside and may be the result of a more serious underlying condition

Why should I see a pelvic pain specialist for my GI symptoms?

Your gastrointestinal symptoms may be the result of an underlying pelvic health condition, so seeing a pelvic pain specialist who understands your symptoms will allow you to receive the proper treatment for your condition sooner. Since the cause of problems within the GI tract can be multifactorial, the most effective treatment option is a multimodal approach that targets many different contributing factors.

What happens if I ignore my GI issues?

Not seeking treatment for your gastrointestinal discomfort may result in an underlying health condition getting worse. Because there are many different causes for GI tract pain and discomfort, seeking treatment as soon as possible with our team is the best way to ensure you receive the proper diagnosis and care for your condition.

Understanding Gastrointestinal Pain

What Are Common Gastrointestinal Symptoms?

Gastrointestinal symptoms refer to the symptoms felt within the stomach, abdominal area, and anywhere else along the gastrointestinal tract. These symptoms may include bloating, abdominal cramping or pain, constipation or diarrhea, incomplete bowel movements, or rectal bleeding. The severity of these symptoms will differ depending on which underlying condition is causing your pain or discomfort.
