Dr. Tayyaba Ahmed is a doctor of physical medicine and rehabilitation. A native of New York City, after spending five years honing her skills in outpatient care, Dr. Ahmed focuses on her passion for treating pelvic pain, believing that concentrating on a specific field creates the greatest expertise. A board certified Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation physician, Dr. Ahmed also is a fellow of the Academy of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation and a member of the International Pelvic Pain Society. She completed the BS/Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine program at New York Institute of Technology and was trained at the New York College of Osteopathic Medicine, Northwell Health Plainview Hospital, and the NYU Langone Medical Center/RUSK Institute for Rehabilitation. 

In Part 2 of this two part series, Dr. Ahmed discusses: among the interventions of electrical stimulation, biofeedback, and pelvic floor muscle training, deciding which of these approaches either singly or in combination are best suited for a particular patient; ways of evaluating the effectiveness of these interventions; medications involved in treatment and for what purposes; periods of time, such as weeks or months when most rehabilitation interventions take place and whether plateaus ever occur where further treatment is not associated with additional improvements; and instances such as the presence of a patient’s advanced old age or co-morbidities where watchful waiting may represent the best choice instead of any other kind of intervention.
