When to ask for a specialist second opinion on pelvic pain — Patient questions

Medically reviewed by Dr Renaud Bollens — Professor of Urology

Patient questions

The questions patients ask us most often about pelvic pain second opinion — answered directly, without hedging.

Ask for a second opinion when your pain has lasted more than six months, when investigations have been normal, when treatment has been symptomatic only, or when nobody has yet named a mechanism for your pain.

A useful second opinion is not just another appointment. It is a structured review of every previous investigation, imaging study and treatment response by someone who sees this pattern constantly.

Patients from the United States regularly send their records to Pelvic Institute for review before travelling. Most of the work — history, records, imaging, planning — happens before anyone books a flight.

Send your questions to our team and a coordinator replies within one business day, in strict confidence.
