Pelvic Pain: Causes, Symptoms, and Treatment Options

Pelvic pain is a common but often misunderstood condition that can affect women of all ages. It may be acute or chronic, ranging from mild discomfort to severe, debilitating pain that interferes with daily life.

Symptoms of Pelvic Pain:
✔️ Dull, aching, or sharp pain in the lower abdomen or pelvis.
✔️ Pain during intercourse (dyspareunia).
✔️ Menstrual cramps that are more severe than usual.
✔️ Painful urination or bowel movements.
✔️ Chronic discomfort that worsens with prolonged sitting or activity.

Common Causes of Pelvic Pain:
🔹 Endometriosis – Abnormal tissue growth outside the uterus causing inflammation and pain.
🔹 Fibroids – Noncancerous growths in the uterus leading to pressure and cramping.
🔹 Pelvic Inflammatory Disease (PID) – Infection of the reproductive organs.
🔹 Ovarian Cysts – Fluid-filled sacs on the ovaries that may cause sharp pain.
🔹 Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) – Digestive issues that contribute to pelvic discomfort.
🔹 Interstitial Cystitis – A chronic bladder condition causing persistent pelvic pain.
