Understanding Pelvic Pain in Women: Causes, Symptoms & Solutions
Pelvic pain is a common yet often misunderstood issue that affects millions of women. Whether it’s a dull ache, sharp cramps, or ongoing discomfort, pelvic pain can impact daily life, fertility, and overall well-being.
At Functional GYN, we believe in getting to the root cause of pelvic pain rather than just masking symptoms. Let’s explore the top causes of pelvic pain in women, along with functional medicine solutions to help you find lasting relief.
1. Endometriosis: A Hidden Cause of Chronic Pelvic Pain
Endometriosis is one of the leading causes of pelvic pain, yet it often goes undiagnosed for years. This condition occurs when tissue similar to the uterine lining grows outside the uterus, leading to inflammation, scar tissue, and severe pain.

CIRS Treatment Stages: A Functional GYN Approach
A Step-by-Step Guide to Chronic Inflammatory Response Syndrome (CIRS) Treatment
At Functional GYN, we understand that CIRS (Chronic Inflammatory Response Syndrome) can be overwhelming. From identifying symptoms to developing a personalized treatment plan, this journey requires patience and commitment.
While every patient’s protocol is customized based on symptoms, environmental exposure, lab results, and genetics, this guide provides a broad overview of the key treatment phases.
Step 1: Remove Exposure & Detox Your Environment
The first and most crucial step in CIRS recovery is eliminating exposure to environmental toxins. Whether at work or home, exposure to mold, biotoxins, and other environmental triggers keeps the immune system in a constant state of overdrive, preventing healing.
🔹 Action Plan:
✔ Conduct environmental testing to identify mold, mycotoxins, or other biotoxins.
✔ Implement remediation measures or relocate if necessary.
✔ Begin lifestyle modifications to support detoxification naturally.
