Management of cancer-related pelvic pain involves treating the underlying cancer and addressing the pain itself. Strategies include:
Surgery: Removing the tumor can alleviate pain caused by cancer. Chemotherapy: Chemical agents can shrink tumors and reduce pain. Radiation Therapy: Targeting the tumor with radiation can relieve pain by shrinking the cancer. Pain Medications: Analgesics, including NSAIDs, opioids, and adjuvant medications, can help manage pain. Palliative Care: Focuses on improving quality of life by managing symptoms and providing emotional support. Physical Therapy: Special exercises can help alleviate pain and improve mobility.
