Chronic Pelvic Pain Syndrome (CPPS) in women refers to ongoing pelvic pain that lasts three months or longer & cannot always be traced to a single cause.
The pain may be constant or come and go. For some women, it feels like pressure or aching. For others, it may be sharp, burning, or deep and challenging to describe.
At Aesthetic Envy in Roseville, we provide Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy as an advanced, regenerative option for women suffering from chronic pelvic pain. Our approach is personalized, supportive, and focused on helping your body heal—rather than masking symptoms.
Pelvic pain can show up in many different ways. In some women, no or only a few symptoms occur, while others complain of many signs, such as:
Chronic pelvic pain usually isn’t caused by just one thing. In the majority of cases, it’s the result of several overlapping factors, which is why diagnosis and treatment can feel so complicated.
Some of the more common contributors include:
Endometriosis, fibroids, ovarian cysts, adenomyosis, and pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) are well-known causes of pelvic pain. Infections—especially untreated sexually transmitted infections—can also lead to long-term inflammation and discomfort. Even after an infection resolves, lingering pain can remain.
Bladder-related disorders like interstitial cystitis, painful bladder syndrome, or frequent urinary tract infections may lead to pelvic pain alongside urgency, burning, or pressure. Many women notice that bladder symptoms become worse during stressful periods or hormonal changes.
Health issues such as irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), chronic constipation, colitis, or diverticulitis can create pressure and pain that radiates into the pelvic region, making it difficult to pinpoint the true source.
Tight or weakened pelvic floor muscles, nerve irritation, scar tissue from past surgeries, hernias, or childbirth-related trauma can all contribute to ongoing pain. Sometimes the muscles overwork just to protect sensitive areas, which only makes the pain worse.
Anxiety, depression, chronic stress, and past trauma don’t “cause” pelvic pain—but they absolutely influence how pain is processed and perceived. The nervous system plays a major role here, and ignoring it often leaves women stuck.
Because chronic pelvic pain is so complex, a thoughtful and comprehensive evaluation is essential. There’s rarely a one-size-fits-all solution!
Diagnosing chronic pelvic pain takes time, listening, and patience. There is no single test that tells the whole story.
The process usually begins with a detailed consultation and physical exam. This includes evaluating the pelvic floor muscles and surrounding tissues for tightness, tenderness, or imbalance.
A full medical history is reviewed, covering menstrual cycles, prior infections, surgeries, childbirth experiences, urinary symptoms, digestive concerns, and sexual health.
Imaging studies, such as ultrasound or MRI, may be recommended to look for structural issues within the pelvis. Urine testing can help rule out infections or bladder-related conditions.
In certain cases, a minimally invasive procedure like laparoscopy may be used to directly examine the pelvic organs, especially when endometriosis is suspected.
Emotional health and a history of stress are also important pieces of the puzzle. Chronic pain affects the nervous system, and ignoring this connection often leads to incomplete treatment plans.
PRP stands for Platelet-Rich Plasma, and it’s a treatment that uses your body’s own healing ability.
A small sample of your blood is drawn and processed to concentrate platelets—tiny cells that contain growth factors involved in tissue repair and regeneration. This platelet-rich plasma is then carefully applied or injected into specific pelvic areas associated with pain or dysfunction.
Because PRP comes from your own blood, it does not involve synthetic medications, hormones, or foreign substances. Many women appreciate that it works with the body rather than against it.
PRP treatment is performed in a calm, clinical setting and typically takes less than an hour. After the blood draw and preparation process, the PRP is administered with precision by an experienced provider.
There is no surgery involved, and no general anesthesia is required. Most women describe the sensation as manageable—often more pressure than pain. Mild soreness afterward is common but usually short-lived.
Downtime is minimal. Many patients return to normal daily activities the same day or within 24 hours, depending on comfort levels.
PRP therapy may support healing in women with pelvic pain in different ways:
PRP is not a quick numbing solution. Instead, it focuses on improving tissue health over time, which may lead to more meaningful and lasting relief for the right candidate.
Women come to us because they’re tired of being dismissed or rushed. Chronic pelvic pain is real, and we treat it that way.
Our care is:
We believe women deserve clear explanations, honest recommendations, and treatment options that support genuine recovery.
It often develops from a combination of muscle tension, inflammation, nerve sensitivity, and pelvic organ conditions. More than one factor is usually involved.
Yes. PRP uses your own blood, which minimizes the risk of allergic reactions or rejection. Your medical history is always reviewed beforehand.
That depends on your symptoms and how your body responds. Some women notice improvement after one session, while others benefit from additional treatments.
PRP may be considered when pelvic pain persists despite standard treatments or when a non-surgical, regenerative option is preferred.
Downtime is minimal. Mild tenderness or soreness may occur, but most patients resume normal activities quickly.
If pelvic pain has been quietly controlling your comfort, confidence, or daily life, PRP therapy may be an option worth exploring. Schedule an appointment with our highly trained injector, Dr Gosal, in Roseville today!
