There are many different reasons that you may be suffering from pelvic pain during pregnancy or pelvic pain during sex. So it’s important to visit an expert in female health to discover the root cause of your pelvic pain. In Midtown NYC, Dr. Felix Cohen, founder of Cohen Medical Practice (CMP), is a caring, thorough OB/GYN who ensures your safety and protects your reproductive health. Call his practice at the first sign of discomfort that you can’t identify.
What Is Pelvic Pain?
Pelvic pain is a symptom, not a disease. It can come on suddenly or persist for months. This pain occurs in your lower abdomen, between your hips and below your belly button. It affects both men and women; however, lower left abdominal pain in women is more common due to the presence of reproductive organs in the pelvic region. A sharp pain in vaginal areas may have various causes, depending on your overall health.
Whether you’re dealing with pelvic pain during pregnancy, pubic bone pain or chronic pelvic pain syndrome, Dr. Felix Cohen, founder and director at Cohen Medical Practice (CMP) in New York, is equipped to address the causes of pelvic pain and devise the appropriate treatment plan.
What Causes Pelvic Pain?
Urinary tract infections can affect your bladder, urethra or kidneys, which causes burning sensations when you urinate, as well as pelvic pain. If there are growing uterine fibroids in your uterus, they can lead to pelvic pain if they’re large or pressing on other organs. You may notice symptoms like heavy menstrual bleeding, prolonged periods and pelvic pressure.
Other common reasons for pelvic pain include:
- Endometriosis. This can cause discomfort as tissue similar to the lining of your uterus grows outside it and presses on nearby organs, causing excessive bleeding and pressure.
- Ovarian cysts. These are fluid-filled sacs that develop on your ovaries, which, as they grow, cause disruptive pelvic pain.
- Pelvic inflammatory disease. This infection of the reproductive organs typically is caused by sexually transmitted infections and can lead to pelvic pain during sex.
- Irritable bowel syndrome. Digestive disorders that lead to symptoms like abdominal pain, bloating and changes in bowel habits can also pelvic pain causes.
- Pregnancy. Pelvic pain during pregnancy may just be the result of pressure on your pelvis area that you aren’t accustomed to, or a sign of something more serious, which is why it’s vital that you tell your OB/GYN about it immediately.
Additionally, the muscles and tissues that support your pelvic organs might be overly tense if you have pelvic floor dysfunction. This also results in chronic pelvic pain syndrome, difficulty with bowel movements and pelvic pain during sex.
How Is Pelvic Pain Treated?
Treatment for pelvic pain depends on the cause of the problem. Your doctor may prescribe medications like pain relievers, antibiotics or hormonal treatments. If your pelvic pain is caused by muscle issues, pelvic floor physical therapy can be an effective solution. Pessaries may be recommended if your pain is related to pelvic prolapse. Sometimes, simple lifestyle changes can have a big impact on managing pelvic pain, such as dietary adjustments, stress management or regular physical activity.
If your condition requires surgical treatment, the procedures available to you include:
- Hysteroscopy
- Myomectomy or Hysterectomy
- Nerve block injections
