Aspire Pain Relief Institute
Temporary pelvic pain that may be considered normal is pain attributed to menstrual cramps, constipation, and mild bladder infections. However, when pelvic pain becomes chronic or worsens, you should visit a specialist as soon as possible for diagnosis and treatment.
8 Causes of Pelvic Pain
- Fibroids — benign growths developing in the uterine wall can cause pain in your lower back and pelvis.
- Hernia — when hernias occur in the lower pelvic muscle, they can cause chronic pelvic pain and produce a slight bulge at the site of the pain.
- Intestinal conditions — ulcerative colitis, diverticulitis, and irritable bowel syndrome can all cause recurring pelvic pain.
- Prostate inflammation — one of the most common reasons for men over 50 to have pelvic pain is due to prostate infection. Growths on the prostate may also lower back and pelvic pain in older men.
- Kidney stones — pain in the pelvic area due to kidney stones could mean stones are moving through the bladder and urethra. Severe pelvic pain usually occurs right before kidney stones are passed.
- Interstitial cystitis — pelvic pain and frequently feeling an urgent need to urinate are signs of this chronic bladder problem.
- Endometriosis — when tissue grows outside of a woman’s uterus, this tissue will cause pelvic pain, abnormal bleeding and may interfere with fertility.
- Pudendal nerve entrapment — compression of the pudendal nerve due to surgery, growths, or injury may cause pelvic pain.
