Reproductive disorders associated with pelvic pain.
Pelvic pain is common in adolescents and can result from a number of physiological and pathological etiologies, both gynecologic and nongynecologic in origin. The evaluation, diagnosis, and management of these conditions involve both medical and surgical approaches. In this review, the authors present a comprehensive approach to the care of adolescents with pelvic pain associated with dysmenorrhea, endometriosis, and obstruction of the genital tract.
