Abstract

Pelvic pain in adolescents is a common and frequently puzzling symptom with many possible causes. The patients who suffer from this symptom, by and large, have diagnosable and treatable causes. A sensible, studied, and progressive approach by a warm and accepting physician usually is the key to successful diagnosis and management of this condition.
