Pelvic pain is not just a gyn issue!  As a PCP,  you can feel confident doing an initial workup and starting treatment for pelvic pain.  Dr. Lamvu shares a great framework to narrow down your diagnosis and provides amazing resources for those who work in an under-resourced center.   We’ll walk you through what to focus on in the history, a trauma-informed physical exam, and the first-line treatments.  Feel confident with your ability to help your chronic pelvic pain patients.
