This is fabulous news. This November, the awesome urology and pelvic pain team at Beaumont Hospitals Women's Urology Center (Royal Oak, MI) are offering a new five day pelvic pain retreat. If you would like a second opinion, would like to work with experienced physical therapists and medical care providers, receive daily support, or if you do not have an IC or pelvic pain specialist near you, this could be the perfect setting for you. It is open to international patients but translators are not available. You must speak english to attend. Yes, it does have a fee attached to it which may be unaffordable to many patients but if this is successful, they may do more and create yet more services. Think about it and spread the word! - Jill
If you are living with any of the symptoms listed below and have not found adequate relief, we invite you to join us for a five-day intensive retreat created just for women like you.
We have found that a comprehensive approach is most effective in alleviating chronic pelvic pain symptoms. You will have a one-on-one clinical evaluation with experts in chronic pelvic pain, an individualized treatment plan created just for you, and several daily interventions to help ease your symptoms. You will be given the information you need to continue this plan of care after this retreat week. We invite you to take this special time for yourself... to care for yourself... and improve the quality of your life.
This unique treatment program is designed for women over 18 years of age with any of the following issues:
• pelvic pain not associated with periods
• pelvic pain for more than three months
• pain related to pelvic floor dysfunction (tightness of the muscles)
• pelvic pain that may be accompanied by urinary urge or frequency
• pelvic pain that may be accompanied by vulvar pain/burning
This retreat program includes:
• a history and physical examination by specialists in pelvic pain
