AB Pain  in  the  lower  abdomen  and  pelvis  is  a  common  complaint.  But,  pain  is  subjective  and  often  ambiguous,  and  thus,  difficult  to  diagnose  and  treat.  To  assist,  clinicians  ideally  understand  the  mechanisms  underlying  human  pain  perception,  which  involves  complex  physical,  biochemical,  emotional,  and  social  interactions.  Providers  are  obligated  to  search  for  organic  sources  of  pain,  but  equally  important,  avoid  overtreatment  of  a  condition  that  is  minor  or  short  lived.
