Pelvic Pain Specialist

Your Pain Is Real. We Listen.

Pelvic pain is one of the most common — and most often misunderstood — concerns in women's health. Many women go years without answers, sometimes told their pain is "normal," "just hormonal," or "something they have to live with."

At Haven OBGYN, we believe your pain is real, valid, and deserves thoughtful, expert evaluation.

When to See a Pelvic Pain Specialist

We encourage evaluation if pain is affecting your daily life, including:

Chronic pelvic pain (lasting 6+ months)
Painful periods (dysmenorrhea)
Pain with intercourse
Pain with bladder filling
Pain with bowel movements
Pain between periods
Pelvic pressure or heaviness
Ovulation pain
Pain after childbirth or surgery

Common Causes of Pelvic Pain

Pelvic pain often has multiple contributing factors. We evaluate the full range of gynecologic causes, including:

Endometriosis

Painful periods, chronic pelvic pain, fertility challenges. May require laparoscopic evaluation and treatment.

Adenomyosis

Heavy bleeding, cramping, chronic pain. 3D ultrasound can provide helpful features for evaluation.

Ovarian Cysts

Sharp or dull pain, bloating, irregular cycles.

Fibroids

Pelvic pressure, heavy bleeding, cramping.

Pelvic Floor Dysfunction

Pain with intercourse, postpartum discomfort, burning or tension.

Musculoskeletal & Scar Tissue

Pain after childbirth, trauma, or prior surgery.

Your pain deserves attention, understanding, and a thorough evaluation.

Our Diagnostic Approach

We begin with your story and a focused, respectful examination.

Detailed History & Symptom Discussion

Exploring patterns, triggers, hormonal influences, severity, and impact on daily life.

Trauma-Informed Pelvic Exam

Only when appropriate and always with consent. Comfort, privacy, and communication are central.

2D + 3D Pelvic Ultrasound

3D ultrasound provides enhanced detail that may help in evaluating:

Procedures may include:

Laparoscopic endometriosis excision
Minimally invasive hysterectomy
Ovarian cystectomy
Myomectomy (fibroid removal)
Hysteroscopic polyp/fibroid removal
