At APICO Pain Management™, Dr. Rany Abdallah offers Superior Hypogastric Plexus Blocks to relieve chronic pelvic pain associated with conditions such as endometriosis, pelvic cancer, or interstitial cystitis. This minimally invasive procedure targets the superior hypogastric plexus—a bundle of nerves that transmit pain from the pelvic region.

By injecting a local anesthetic, sometimes combined with steroid medication, Dr. Abdallah can effectively block pain signals and reduce inflammation. Performed under image guidance for precise placement, the procedure offers significant relief with minimal recovery time. Superior Hypogastric Plexus Blocks at Apico provide a safe, targeted approach to restoring comfort and improving daily function.
