Understanding the Deeper Challenges of Pelvic Health

Despite significant advancements in medical science over the past few decades, pelvic health and related disciplines remain largely underserved. Many underlying pathologies affecting pelvic health continue to be poorly understood, resulting in a detrimental impact on individuals' quality of life.

Numerous patients experience pelvic pain and pelvic floor dysfunction, yet the precise causes often elude medical professionals. This leads to frustration as patients consult multiple specialists in hopes of finding answers, often to no avail. The pelvic region houses several vital organs that play crucial roles in overall well-being, including the urinary, reproductive, and lower gastrointestinal systems — all of which may be simultaneously affected.

The autonomic nervous system plays a central role in regulating pelvic organ functions such as urination, defecation, and sexual activity. Inflammation or dysfunction in this complex neural network — particularly around the sacral region — often contributes to symptoms that are difficult to diagnose or treat effectively.

The complex anatomy and neurophysiology of the pelvic region have posed longstanding challenges for the medical community. Dr. Khashayar Shakiba, a double board-certified gynecologist and urogynecologist, has spent over 25 years working with patients suffering from misunderstood pelvic conditions. After completing advanced training at institutions like New Haven Hospital and Cleveland Clinic Foundation, he began private practice in New Jersey in 2007.

Dr. Shakiba recognized early on that many women with severe pelvic pain, sexual dysfunction, or bladder issues were being misdiagnosed or referred to mental health services instead of receiving accurate pelvic care. He questioned why there were no clear answers for widespread symptoms such as severe menstrual pain, unexplained infertility, or GI distress tied to pelvic nerve inflammation.

Conditions like polycystic ovarian syndrome, irritable bowel syndrome, and interstitial cystitis are often labeled but rarely explained. In many cases, no root cause is identified, and treatments focus only on symptom relief — leaving patients confused and discouraged.

Through years of multidisciplinary patient care, Dr. Shakiba discovered that many of these symptoms were connected by a common thread: neuropelveology, the study of pelvic nerve function. Yet few specialists were trained to look at pelvic health holistically.

In 2010, he established Women’s Pelvic Surgery of North Jersey in Hackensack, with a mission to innovate, educate, and surgically treat complex pelvic pathologies through advanced robotic technology and a neuroscience-informed approach.

Leading in Women’s Pelvic Neuroscience, Neurosurgery & Research

At Women’s Pelvic Surgery of North Jersey, we combine over two decades of clinical expertise with cutting-edge research in neuropelveology and minimally invasive pelvic surgery to improve outcomes for women with complex pelvic conditions.
