Pelvic pain affects people in deeply personal ways, often disrupting daily comfort and quality of life. Many patients spend years searching for answers without relief, which is why so many travel to New York City to see Dr. Sonia Bahlani. As a globally recognized pelvic pain specialist with a urology-based pelvic pain fellowship, she offers focused expertise that is difficult to find elsewhere. Read on to discover why patients from across the country and around the world seek her care.
The Global Appeal of Specialized Pelvic Pain Expertise
Pelvic pain is often misunderstood and misdiagnosed, partly because few clinicians have advanced training in both urology and gynecology. Dr. Bahlani is among the rare experts with this dual background and fellowship training in pelvic pain, allowing her to evaluate complex symptoms with precision. Her reputation is strengthened by her research, international speaking engagements, and her book, Dr. Sonia’s Guide to Navigating Pelvic Pain.
A Thoughtful, Comprehensive Approach to Complex Conditions
Many patients come to New York after years of seeking answers without success. At Pelvic Pain Doc, evaluations are structured to quickly identify the most likely drivers of persistent pelvic pain by reviewing medical history, symptom patterns, and prior treatments.
Some of the key diagnostic elements Dr. Bahlani focuses on include:
- Symptom characteristics: Type, duration, severity, and day-to-day fluctuation.
- Trigger patterns: Activities or movements that consistently worsen or relieve discomfort.
- Pelvic floor involvement: Muscle tension, spasm, or dysfunction contributing to pain.
- Prior care response: What improved symptoms, what worsened them, and gaps in previous evaluations.
- Potential contributors: Urologic, gynecologic, or musculoskeletal factors that may have been overlooked.
This targeted information allows her to create a clear and efficient treatment plan, which may include BOTOX injections, trigger point injections, pelvic floor therapies, or focused urologic and gynecologic evaluation. Her structured approach helps patients finally understand their pain and take meaningful steps toward relief.
