Myofascial pelvic pain refers to pain in the pelvic floor muscles, the pelvic
floor connective tissue,
and the surrounding fascia.
The cause is often
multifactorial and requires treatment that encompasses multiple modalities. This
type of pain is often associated with other abdominopelvic disorders, so
providers in these specialties need to be aware of these connections. A comprehensive musculoskeletal examination, including evaluation of the pelvic
floor muscles, and history are key to diagnosing myofascial pelvic pain.
Treatments include physical therapy, muscle relaxers, oral neuromodulators,
cognitive-behavioral therapy, and pelvic floor muscle injections.
