What is Pelvic Pain?

Pelvic pain is pain experienced usually below the belly button in the anterior lower abdomen which can include the sex organs. It may develop from many different diseases and conditions and can be a secondary condition. As an example, pelvic pain may arise from normal menstruation, appendicitis and bladder problems. It may sometimes be associated with both benign and emergency medical conditions. Pelvic pain in most people should be investigated by a medical professional.

Pelvic pain arising from the female reproductive system might be caused by conditions such as:

  • Adenomyosis
  • Ectopic pregnancy (or other pregnancy-related conditions)
  • Endometriosis
  • Menstrual cramps (Dysmenorrhea)
  • Miscarriage (before the 20th week) or intrauterine fetal death
  • Mittelschmerz (ovulation pain)
  • Ovarian cancer
  • Ovarian cysts
  • Pelvic inflammatory disease (PID)
  • Uterine fibroids
  • Vulvodynia

Acupuncture for Pelvic Pain Research

A recent study found that Acupuncture treatment reduced menstrual pain intensity and duration after three months of treatment and this was sustained for up to one year after trial entry. The study was titled “The role of treatment timing and mode of stimulation in the treatment of primary dysmenorrhea with acupuncture: An exploratory randomised controlled trial”. [1]

The above research suggests that Acupuncture may provide beneficial outcomes however other papers did not have the same findings so the evidence is regarded as mixed.

Our Practitioners

Dr. Peter Gospos

Senior Practitioner and Clinic Founder, Registered Acupuncturist – BHSc (Acu)

Peter Gospos has been practicing Acupuncture for 20 years. He is passionate about achieving optimal health for all of his clients.

Peter offers an innovative approach to treatment with Neoclassical Acupuncture. Neoclassical Acupuncture is a palpatory style of Acupuncture that provides immediate feedback with each needle placed. The goal is to create a “domino effect” of clearing the root cause and sub-sequentially the symptoms from your body.

Peter prefers to use Ultra-Smooth Japanese style needles to ensure complete patient comfort. He also prefers to use a minimal amount of needles during your treatment.

Peter has a special interest in both acute and chronic musculo-skeletal pain. This includes low back pain, shoulder pain and knee pain. He also provides support for a wide range of general conditions such as headaches, migraines and digestive problems. He also supports clients to achieve mental well-being through the reduction of stress and anxiety.

Peter also offers support for women’s health (menstrual and menopausal issues, pregnancy health, induction of labour, fertility and IVF).

Peter has been registered with the Australian Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine Association (AACMA) since 2004. He is also government registered with the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency (AHPRA).
