A clinic set up in Queensland to specifically help women with persistent pelvic pain, made a difference to these women and reduced the burden on a busy emergency department, according to Australian research. The authors say persistent pelvic pain affects as many as one in four women of reproductive age. The researchers found that there were 19 per cent fewer patients going to the emergency department for pelvic pain within 12 months of attending the Mater Health Persistent Pelvic Pain Clinic (PPPC). There was also a reduction in number of presentations, short stay admissions and daily opiate use in regular users.
