Botox for That Pelvic Pain Which won't go Away
Many women suffer from chronic pelvic floor spasm and pain, which may now be relieved by Botox injections, a group of Australian researchers report. The usual symptoms of this condition are heaviness, frequency or urgency in urination, painful intercourse and pelvic pain.

The report is published in the Journal Of Obstetrics and Gynaecology (October).
