Chronic pelvic pain

Overview

Chronic pelvic pain is persistent pain in the lower abdomen and pelvic region that lasts for six months or longer. This ongoing discomfort can range from mild to severe and may interfere with daily activities, sexual function, and overall quality of life.

Common Causes

Chronic pelvic pain can develop from various underlying conditions including endometriosis, pelvic inflammatory disease, or irritable bowel syndrome. Muscle tension and stress can also contribute to persistent discomfort in the pelvic region. Additionally, previous injuries, infections, or surgical procedures may lead to ongoing pain that lasts for months or years. Hormonal changes and certain lifestyle factors like prolonged sitting or high-impact activities can sometimes worsen symptoms.

Severity Levels

Mild: You may experience occasional discomfort that comes and goes, allowing you to maintain most normal activities with minor adjustments to your routine.

Moderate: Pain becomes more frequent and noticeable, requiring you to modify daily activities, take regular breaks, or use pain management strategies to get through your day.

Severe: Persistent, intense pain significantly impacts your ability to work, sleep, maintain relationships, or perform basic daily tasks, often requiring immediate medical attention and comprehensive treatment.

Medical Attention

Seek medical attention if pelvic pain persists for more than a few weeks or significantly impacts your daily activities. Contact your healthcare provider immediately if you experience severe pain, fever, heavy bleeding, or sudden worsening of symptoms. Don't wait to get help if the pain interferes with your ability to work, sleep, or maintain relationships, as early treatment can prevent complications and improve your quality of life.
