The pelvis, or the lower part of your trunk between abdomen and thighs, is the area which houses the reproductive organs. Pelvic pain rarely affects men. In women, it is felt below the bellybutton.
It may be chronic (long-term) or acute (sudden), sharp, severe, dull, or mild. In all cases of pelvic pain we recommend that you make an appointment to come in and speak to one of our specialists, but if the pain is acute (sudden), do not hesitate. We are available six days a week, with same day and walk-in appointments available.
Ovarian cysts, are common but can cause pain if they burst
Pelvic inflammatory disease (PID), is a bacterial infection of the upper part of the reproductive system (uterus, ovaries, and fallopian tubes). Infections of PID need to be treated immediately with antibiotics to prevent complications
Endometriosis, in which uterine tissue grows outside of the uterus and causes painful sensations, especially around your period
Peritonitis, in which a sudden abdominal pain is caused by the peritoneum (the lining of the abdomen) becoming inflamed
Urinary tract infection (UTI) can cause pelvic pain and is usually accompanied by increased urinary frequency and burning sensation with urination
Appendicitis, which typically causes pain on the lower right-hand side of the abdomen due to the swelling of the appendix
Constipation.
Other causes of pelvic pain which are less common include low back pain, pelvic abscess, uterine prolapse, adenomyosis (a kind of endometriosis affecting the uterine muscle), irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), recurrent ovarian cysts, fibroids (benign tumors inside or around the womb) recurrent UTI or interstitial cystitis, trapped nerves (the pain is sharp, stabbing, and worse with movement).
