The Use of Cannabis Products for the Management of Pain Associated With Gynecologic Conditions

Patients with gynecologic pain may use cannabis to manage pain, especially when it is not effectively managed by traditional methods. There are insufficient data to make a recommendation regarding the use of cannabis products for management of pain associated with gynecologic conditions. Clinicians should be aware of the possibility of patients' use of cannabis products for pain management and be prepared to counsel them about the theoretical benefits based on the endocannabinoid pathway, potential adverse effects, and the limitations of the data on the use of cannabis products for the management of gynecologic pain.
