Abstract

Pelvic pain is a common but clinically challenging problem seen among adolescents. Dysmenorrhea and endometriosis are frequent gynecologic causes of pelvic pain; however, gastrointestinal, urologic, and musculokeletal conditions can mimic pain of gynecologic origin. Initial therapy is aimed at treating the underlying condition. Nonsteroidal medications, antidepres-sants and anticonvulsants are sometimes used in the treatment of pelvic pain. Patients who continue to experience pain may benefi t from a multidiscipli-nary treatment approach consisting of medication trials, cognitive-behavioral therapy, physical therapy, and complementary and alternative therapies.
