IC/BPS AND OTHER FORMS OF PELVIC PAIN: A Symposium on Multidisciplinary Approaches

Chronic pelvic pain that may include conditions such as interstitial cystitis/bladder pain syndrome, prostatitis, pelvic floor muscle spasm, and male and female sexual pain affects an estimated 20 million men and women in the United States. Many of these conditions are difficult to diagnose and treat. Afflicted patients often move from clinician to clinician, sometimes over the course of years, due to difficulties encountered in making a diagnosis and/or suboptimal results from treatments.

This is a FREE 3 hour long patient oriented symposium dedicated to PELVIC PAIN PATIENTS AND THOSE WHO LOVE THEM.

Nationally and internationally known experts in the field of pelvic pain from the Northwell Healthcare System will be presenting a wide range of topics about pelvic pain from causes to new approaches to management. We have incorporated time into the program for an extensive question and answer session.
