Pelvic floor myofascial pain syndrome is a non-inflammatory condition affecting the fascia and pelvic floor muscles, typically caused by fascial injury and adhesions or spasms of the pelvic floor muscles, leading to chronic pain. Patients diagnosed with or suspected of having pelvic floor myofascial pain syndrome should promptly undergo ultrasound examination at a hospital. Common treatment approaches include massage therapy and pharmacotherapy. Patients are advised to rest adequately and maintain local warmth.
