Living With Pelvic Pain
“Pelvic pain is described as any discomfort or pain below the navel or pelvic
region.”
Pelvic pain is often described as any discomfort or pain below the navel or pelvic
region. This pain becomesapparentduring sex especially in women but is also
caused by other reasons, too. Pelvic pain in itself is not a sign of a problem but
can prove to be asymptom of other serious health conditions.
Reasons For Pelvic Pain
Menstrual Cramps - Menstrual cramps are one of the major reasons why women
experience pain. The pain ranges from a dull ache to severe radiating pain at the
pit of the stomach that lasts for a few days.
Kidney Stones - Kidney stones cause severe pain in the pelvis and requires
immediate medical assistance.
Urinary Tract Infections- UTI is a serious and painful medical condition that also
causes pelvic pain. If left untreated, the infection may even spread to the kidneys
and bladder.
Constipation -Many people suffering from constipation or diarrhoea often
complain of pelvic pain. Pelvic pain is one of the most common symptoms of
irritable bowel movement.
Endometriosis -Endometriosis is a condition where a woman’s uterine lining
grows outside the uterus. When not dispelled during menstruation, it can cause
cysts which are incredibly painful.
Sexually Transmitted Diseases -Sexually transmitted diseases or infections,
especially chlamydia and gonorrhoea, cause immense pain in men.
Fibroids -These are growths in the uterus. As they grow, they put pressure on the
lower stomach regionresulting in a lot of pain. Fibroids do not lead to cancer but
cause a lot of discomfort.
If there is any uncomfortable pain in the lower abdomen or pelvic region, visit
Apollo Clinics where one can get tested for the exact cause of the pain and seek
medical attention.
Though a number of cases of pelvic pain are not serious, it should not be
neglected. If the pain does not recede after a couple of hours, get medical help to
rule out serious health problems.
