What are the Potential Causes of Pelvic Pain in Women

Causes of Pelvic pain in women

Pelvic discomfort may be caused by a variety of medical conditions. Pelvic discomfort is prevalent in women and may be caused by a variety of gynecological problems. Pelvic pain is defined as discomfort below the lower abdomen and above the legs.

If you are facing any such problems then consult Dr Anshumala Shukla Kulkarni one of the best Gynaecologist in Andheri west.

PMS and Menstrual Cramps

You are experiencing PMS discomfort in your lower abdomen and back region. It often lasts two to three days. The discomfort normally starts before menstruation and might last for a few days during periods.

Some conditions that cause pelvic discomfort include:

Ectopic Pregnancy

Ectopic pregnancy occurs when an embryo implants outside the uterus and develops. It takes place in the fallopian tubes. Ectopic pregnancy symptoms include dizziness, nausea, vomiting, vaginal bleeding, stomach cramps, and pelvic discomfort. It is a medical emergency that needs rapid medical attention.

Appendicitis

Appendicitis causes acute pain in the right lower part of your abdomen. To treat an infected appendix, doctors prescribe surgery. If it ruptures, the infection might spread and cause difficulties.

Fibroids in the Uterus

Uterine fibroids are non-cancerous benign growths on or in the uterine wall. These are more frequent in women between the ages of 30 and 45. Fibroids usually don’t cause problems. Your gynecologist will determine if you require therapy for your fibroids or whether they should be removed, particularly if they are painful. Common symptoms include difficulty becoming pregnant, heavy periods, lower back discomfort and pressure, and pain in the pelvic area.

IBS (irritable bowel syndrome)

IBS is sometimes referred to as spastic colon. This is a disorder that is often connected with constipation and recurring discomfort. You may also have diarrhea, bloating, cramps, and stomach discomfort. This illness may be managed with medication, stress management, and dietary modifications.

Ovulation Discomfort 

Ovulation Discomfort  Mittelschmerz is a German phrase that translates to "middle pain." It is so called because it happens in the middle of your menstrual cycle. The pain is not troublesome as it may go away within a few hours.

Pelvic Inflammatory Disease (PID) is an illness of the female pelvic organs caused by sexually transmitted infections. It is the most common (preventable) cause of female infertility. PID if untreated may cause irreversible damage to the fallopian tubes, ovaries, uterus, and other pelvic organs. PID symptoms include painful urination or intercourse, abnormal vaginal discharge, fever, and pelvic discomfort. Antibiotics are mainly used to treat it. 

Endometriosis

It is a syndrome in which the tissue that borders the uterus or is identical to the tissue found in the uterus develops outside of the uterus. The tissue may form on the fallopian tubes, ovaries, bladder, intestines, and other pelvic organs. It may result in scar tissue growth and pelvic discomfort. Endometriosis makes it harder for women to get pregnant. 

Urinary System Infection (UTI) occurs when bacteria enter the urinary tract via the urethra and cause infection. It is a common occurrence among women. It may occasionally develop severely, causing serious problems including renal and bladder damage. UTI is accompanied with lower abdominal or pelvic discomfort. The other symptoms include painful urination, an urge to urinate and abdominal pressure.

Cysts in the Ovaries

Ovarian cysts may form when a follicle either fails to open and release the egg or shuts and fills with fluid. Although the majority of ovarian cysts resolve on their own. They may cause bloating, swelling, pressure, and pelvic discomfort if they persist. A cyst may grow huge, twist or spin, and then rupture, causing a sudden shooting pelvic pain. A burst cyst is a medical emergency that may need surgery. A regular gynecological checkup that includes a pelvic examination or abdominal ultrasound aids in the detection of ovarian cysts. Consult a gynecologist as early as possible to prevent potential damage and complications.
