Pelvic pain is defined as discomfort occurring in the lowest part of the abdomen, between the belly button and the hip bones. While many women experience occasional discomfort, pain is classified as chronic when it persists for six months or longer. Pelvic pain is complex because it can originate from several sources: the reproductive system (such as the uterus or ovaries), the urinary tract (the bladder), or the musculoskeletal system (pelvic floor muscles).
According to the NHS and the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists (RCOG), pelvic pain varies significantly in sensation. It may present as a sharp, stabbing pain during specific activities, a heavy, dull ache in the lower back, or a cramping feeling similar to period pain.
Common underlying causes that require specialist investigation include:
Endometriosis and Adenomyosis: Where tissue similar to the womb lining grows in other areas.
Pelvic Inflammatory Disease (PID): Long-term effects of pelvic infections.
Urogynaecological Issues: Including bladder pain syndrome (interstitial cystitis) or pelvic organ prolapse.
Pelvic Adhesions: Internal scar tissue from previous infections or surgeries.
