Pelvic pain is one of the most frequent complains in gynecologic patients. Usually, in the case of the menstrual pain due to endometriosis of the uterus, or ovarian tumor torsion, we treat with common gynecologic treatment. However, when pathological origin is unknown, we apply contra-point acupuncture treatment. We have applied this treatment to the gynecologic field and this treatment has precious merits for pelvic pain patients. According to our experience, female patients feel safer rather than receiving a stimulus to the painful points. Pain on ishchiadic nerve 37, pubic symphisys 30, ingunal area 25, coccyx 9, hip point 5 and otheres 9 were treated. Out of the 100 cases, 94 cases showed immediate pain improvement and only one case needed some more time. Among 5 ineffective cases, 3 cases were blood stasis, 1 case was organic inflammation and the other, schizophrenia.
