The truth is that there is no magic bullet for treating chronic pelvic pain. Progress takes time. Most people with chronic pelvic pain feel that symptoms vary over time, and it is common to experience pain exacerbations even when you are using a very effective treatment regimen.
It can be helpful to keep track of the general trajectory of symptoms, particularly when you are starting a new medication or therapy, as most of these strategies take several weeks to see sustained improvement. Tracking symptoms can also be very helpful in identifying pain triggers, such as activities, diet, or stress that may cause a pain exacerbation. This information can help you and your healthcare provider make more informed decisions about how to manage your symptoms best.
