Opioids are often prescribed for pain relief in gynecological conditions and procedures. Here are some common scenarios:
Postoperative Pain: Following surgeries like hysterectomy, laparoscopy, or cesarean section, opioids may be used to manage acute pain. Chronic Pelvic Pain: In cases where non-opioid medications are ineffective, opioids may be considered for conditions such as endometriosis or interstitial cystitis. Cancer-Related Pain: Gynecologic cancers, such as ovarian or cervical cancer, often require strong pain management strategies, including opioids.
