Diagnosing chronic gynecological pain involves a thorough evaluation, including:
- Detailed Medical History: Understanding the patient's pain history, menstrual cycle, and any associated symptoms. - Physical Examination: A pelvic exam to identify any abnormalities. - Imaging Tests: Ultrasound, MRI, or CT scans to visualize the pelvic organs. - Laparoscopy: A minimally invasive surgery to look inside the abdomen and pelvis, often used to diagnose endometriosis or other conditions.
