GYN Pain Problems

Painful Periods

Painful periods, also known as dysmenorrhea, can range from mild discomfort to severe cramping that interferes with daily activities. While some cramping is normal, excessive pain may indicate underlying conditions such as endometriosis or fibroids. Our team offers a variety of treatments, including hormonal therapy, pain management strategies, and minimally invasive procedures, to help alleviate menstrual pain and improve your quality of life.

Endometriosis

Endometriosis occurs when tissue similar to the uterine lining grows outside the uterus, causing inflammation, scarring, and severe pain. Symptoms may include painful periods, chronic pelvic pain, and difficulty with fertility. Our specialists provide comprehensive care, from hormonal treatments to advanced surgical options, to help manage symptoms and restore comfort.

Pelvic Pain

Chronic pelvic pain can be a persistent and debilitating condition with multiple potential causes, including infections, musculoskeletal issues, or nerve disorders. Our team takes a comprehensive approach to identifying the root cause of pelvic pain and offers personalized treatment plans that may include physical therapy, medication, or minimally invasive procedures.

Pain with Intercourse

Pain during intercourse, known as dyspareunia, can result from various gynecological conditions, including vaginal dryness, pelvic floor dysfunction, or infections. Our team provides compassionate care to help identify the underlying cause and develop an effective treatment plan.

Vulvodynia

Vulvodynia is chronic vulvar pain that occurs without an obvious cause. This condition can lead to discomfort, burning, or stinging sensations that interfere with daily life and intimacy. At Balance Medical, we offer coordinated specialized care, including nerve pain treatments, pelvic floor therapy, and lifestyle modifications, to help manage vulvodynia and improve comfort.
