The lack of understanding of pelvic pain among patients and physicians has led to the spread of many myths. At The Stoehr Center, we offer informed, evidence-based treatment for lower pelvic discomfort in Frisco, and we’re here to bust a few myths along the way.
Myth #1: “Pelvic discomfort is just part of being a woman.”
Many women are dismissed when they report pain, often being told it’s just “normal” menstrual cramps or menopause, simply “part of being a woman.” 🚨Spoiler alert: persistent lower pelvic pain is not something you should have to tolerate.
Whether it’s caused by endometriosis, pelvic floor dysfunction, IBS, or something else, your pain deserves to be evaluated—not dismissed. At The Stoehr Center, we take your symptoms seriously and work to uncover the root cause, not brush it off as period pain.
Pain may be common, but that does not mean it’s acceptable or untreatable.
Myth #2: “Noninvasive treatments won’t work. My only option is surgery.”
Surgery isn’t the only or even the best solution for many pelvic conditions. While surgical intervention may be necessary in some cases, noninvasive and minimally invasive treatments like Emsella, SoLa, and physical therapy have helped countless patients find relief without going under the knife.
We also offer cutting-edge Exomind therapy—a noninvasive brain stimulation treatment improving cognitive function and emotional regulation. It can substantially lessen stress and anxiety, easing the intensity of your pain.
We prioritize the least invasive path to comfort and confidence, and for many people, that’s all it takes!
Myth #3: “The pain’s all in my head.”
Chronic stress and past traumas can strongly contribute to pelvic pain, but that doesn’t make it imaginary or untreatable. Just like anxiety can cause migraines or stomach aches, it can also contribute to pelvic floor tension or inflammation. That’s why we treat both your mind and your body.
Through full-body evaluations, collaborative care, and attentive listening, we help you untangle the complexities behind your pain. When you share with us, you’re not being “dramatic,” you’re being heard 💜
