A founding partner and attending physician with Partners in Obstetrics and Women's Health in New Lenox, Illinois, Dr. Francisco Garcini has earned designation as a Center of Excellence in Minimally Invasive Gynecology (COEMIG). As such, Dr. Francisco Garcini has developed a comprehensive knowledge of chronic pelvic pain and its treatments.
Often difficult to define, chronic pelvic pain in women is characterized by discomfort in the lower belly that persists for at least six months. This pain may be intermittent, cyclical, or constant. Each individual condition may be attributed to a single cause or to multiple factors, including abnormalities in the reproductive cycle or a problem with the bowels or urinary system. The treatment of chronic pelvic pain depends on its root cause. If physicians are unable to find this cause, pain medications and physical therapies may help to alleviate symptoms. For patients whose chronic pain is caused by gynecological issues, hormonal therapies may be key to relieving pain. Certain cases may lead a physician to recommend surgical intervention, such as hysterectomy or the removal of scar tissue in the affected area. This challenging condition often requires physicians and patients to try a few different therapies before finding the one that works best.
