Why should I seek treatment for my period pain and/or heavy bleeding?

Unfortunately, the symptoms that accompany periods are often misunderstood and can be misdiagnosed as “normal” period pain. This lack of awareness can delay the diagnosis and treatment of any underlying conditions you may have, which could potentially become more severe.

Why should I see a pelvic pain specialist for my period pain?

When monthly menstrual cycles are heavy and painful, the muscles and nerves of the pelvis are also impacted and can become tense and inflamed. This often leads to pelvic pain becoming chronic or constant, even when it’s not time for a period.

When should I seek treatment for pain with an erection?

Pain with erection is NOT normal and should be addressed as soon as possible. If you are experiencing pain with erection or ejaculation or post-erection or ejaculation, we encourage you to book an appointment with one of our pelvic pain specialists.

Understanding Pain During Your Period

What Is A Painful Period?

While every woman’s menstrual cycle is different, some women may experience painful periods which include severe cramping in the belly, back and/or abdominal pain, diarrhea or constipation, and pain that spreads down the legs. Period pain should not keep you from sleeping well, functioning your best at work, going to school, playing sports, or attending social events.
