002: What is chronic pelvic pain with Dr. Tania Di Renna
Living with chronic pelvic pain can be complex and today, Michelle and Dr. Tania Di Renna discuss the diagnosis and management and how trauma informed care is an important lens to look through when treating pelvic pain patients.
Dr. Di Renna is the Medical Director for the Toronto Academic Pain Medicine Institute at Women’s College Hospital, also known as TAPMI. TAPMI is a comprehensive interdisciplinary academic pain program that is the hub for chronic pain patient care in Toronto.
Before TAPMI, Dr. Di Renna was the Medical Director of Pain Management at the Ottawa Hospital. During her time in Ottawa, she created three multidisciplinary pain clinics with various medical and surgical specialties. One of those clinics was Ontario’s first Multidisciplinary Pelvic Pain Clinic with Canadian minimally invasive surgeon and endometriosis specialist, Dr. Sony Singh.
Michelle's hope is that you take some valuable information from this episode and apply it in one way or another to improve your quality of life while living with persistent pelvic pain.
