Pelvic Pain
Pelvic pain refers to the discomfort and pain you may feel in the lower abdominal area of your body. The pain may not be contained there, but can in fact radiate into your lower back, buttocks and thighs, depending on the cause or source of the pain. Pelvic pain in women is most often traced to the reproductive system, digestive system, urinary system or musculoskeletal system. Pelvic pain should always be evaluated with a thorough consultation and examination by a physician for an accurate diagnosis and treatment plan as it may be a symptom or sign of a serious illness or condition.
Symptoms that fall under pelvic pain vary a great deal because there are so many possible sources of this symptom and several body systems to check. Pain may be:
- Dull or sharp
- Intermittent or constant
- Mild, moderate or severe
- Localized — that is, in one specific area, as opposed to radiating pain
- Sudden, built over time, acute, sharp or constant — constant pain is referred to as chronic pain, which is pain that has been present for a longer time
- Present only with certain movements or situations, such as pelvic pain during sex
- Described as pelvic cramps
In the event that the pain is acute or persistent, you should make an appointment to see your gynecologist in New York right away.
