Here are my thoughts on chronic pelvic pain.
Often the diagnosis and treatment of chronic disorders of the pelvis is misled because of the difficulty in diagnosing the current conditions responsible for pain. In these cases, the patient refuses an effective treatment aimed at the rational underlying disease.
Sometimes undiagnosed proctitis causes pelvic pain. Proctitis term generally means inflammation of the lining of the rectum, called the rectal mucosa. Proctitis can be short term (acute) or long term (chronic) and may have many causes. May occur as a side effect of certain medical treatments, such as a course of antibiotics. Inflammation of the rectal mucosa may be related to ulcerative colitis or Crohn's disease, hemorrhoids, fungal infections, herpes, conditions that cause inflammation of the colon or small intestine. Other causes include rectal injury, bacterial infections, allergies, chronic pancreatitis and cholecystitis.
Some of the symptoms, often in conjunction with chronic pelvic pain, in particular anal and / or rectal pain, itching, pain in left side of the abdomen, bloating, gas, indigestion, heaviness and discomfort after meals, constipation. It is easy to explain why the bladder, prostate, colon, rectum and actions sympathetic, sacral parasympathetic nervous system and the permeability of the mucosal epithelium.
In many cases I have been involved in the emergence of these symptoms are related to the occupation of the patient. My office is located in a suburb northwest of Chicago, a major transportation hub and have seen a significant number above the average truck drivers in the Chicago area, limo drivers and pursue my services. Based on these cases is available in my practice, I have come to a subjective, but the logical conclusion that one possible cause of this problem is neglected traumatic injury of rectum caused by long hours of seating along the same position as well constant vibration and shock frequent potholes. These injuries small but frequent and repeated disturbances can cause neurological and inflammation and / or irritation that lead to pelvic floor dysfunction and may be one of the causes of these conditions: chronic nonbacterial prostatitis, prostatodynia, painful bladder syndrome , interstitial cystitis and chronic pelvic pain syndrome. All the above are similar, the overlap of the following urinary symptoms: frequency, urgency and pain.
All these conditions are considered unmanageable pelvic and incurable by conventional medicine. Unfortunately, drug therapy and surgical interventions are insufficient and costly. In the United States only 10 until 15 millions of men and women suffer from these debilitating disorders. Fortunately, there is hope for those who are diagnosed with chronic pelvic pain syndrome and the IC and chronic prostatitis. Acupuncture E ', which have existed for thousands of years of service with great results without side effects and has been demonstrated as an effective treatment for chronic inflammation.

Pelvic Floor Toner to Stop Incontinence
These some info about pelvic floor toner to stop incontinence
If you suffer from incontinence, you may have already tried to recommend "Kegel exercises." However, few women are disillusioned because they can not decide to run properly, or the results can be so slow to figure they give.
An effective alternative is the use of a pelvic floor toner. There are different types available and all were more effective than trying to carry on a vagina vacuum. Indeed, when the series Dr. Cone is now well known exercises developed, it was never intended that it should be done on an empty vagina and produces its own pool of toner. Over the years, this has been somewhat forgotten, and frustration with many years of often fruitless cone.
Lack of motivation often results in further deterioration, with many women is the slight leakage of urine and flooding at this stage, many women come to believe that their quality of life significantly decreased repair operation justified.
A pelvic floor toner can be used to stop incontinence, even in cases where urine loss is severe. However, the results are not immediately necessary and the amount of work depends on both the degree of incontinence and the nature of the pelvic floor toner selected.
One option increasingly popular electronic pelvic toners. It works by providing direct electrical impulses to muscles weakened, making the contract automatically. Indeed, in a short workout, an electronic ink can cause the equivalent of thousands of "textbook" contractions that take hours to do, even if women had the stamina to carry them out.
A typical toner pelvic floor has two parts: a probe and a portable battery control. They are either connected by a wire or some versions are wireless. Most have several preset programs to help different degrees of incontinence. The probe is placed in the vagina and a predetermined program is selected. The woman can relax while the machine does the work. Many women sit and read or watch television during the few minutes that the program lasts. Ideally, a woman a pelvic toner twice a day for best results and once incontinence was cured, about 5 times a week for "maintenance", like any other muscle, if the pelvic muscles are not exercised, they would rapidly lose strength
Some women begin to notice a slight improvement in their ability to hold urine in a few weeks, with many significant changes seen in 6 weeks. With a smooth, controlled use, as recommended, the majority of women are completely healed in 6 months.
