A Multimodal Approach to Urologic Dysfunction and Pelvic Pain

Current treatment methods for urologic dysfunction or pelvic pain are often focused on only one aspect of care, for example, the bladder epithelium or vaginal tissue.

This presentation includes a discussion about many different therapies including medications, trigger point injections, and topical treatments.
