| Pelvic pain can be a difficult-to-solve medical mystery, particularly when it has become chronic. For this reason, even after a lot of testing, some women still have chronic pelvic pain with no known cause. This does not mean, however, that there isn't a cause behind the pain nor that there is no possible treatment |

diagnostic procedures for pelvic pain may include |
|
| blood test, prenancy test, urinalysis, culture of cells from cervix, ultrasound, CT, MRI, laparoscopy, x-rays |
