Chronic Pelvic Pain   Information You Need
Basics

Chronic pelvic Discomfort is a Discomfort in the pelvis not related to the menstrual cycle and which persists for more than six months.
Unlike acute Discomfort, which is more likely to be associated with an identifiable pathophysiologic Malfunction of mind or body, chronic pelvic Discomfort is less likely to be associated with a readily identifiable cause. Because of its vague and inconsistent symptoms, chronic pelvic Discomfort is also difficult to diagnose.
In the United States, chronic pelvic Discomfort annually accounts for more than 80,000 hysterectomies and one-third of all laparoscopies. Although chronic pelvic Discomfort still cannot be cured, in most cases, the family physician and the patient with chronic pelvic Discomfort can work in a cooperative way to achieve definite improvement in symptoms.

Causes

Psychological factors always play a role in patients with chronic pelvic Discomfort, especially Discomfort that is neither easily defined nor easily treated. Chronic Discomfort syndrome includes headaches, backaches and abdominal Discomfort in addition to pelvic Discomfort. These women are much more likely to have been physically and sexually abused as children and adults.
Overall, 29 percent of the Discomfort was found to have pathologic findings at the time of laparoscopy for tubal ligation. Fibroids, a presumed cause of chronic pelvic Discomfort and a common cause of hysterectomy, have never been proven to cause chronic pelvic Discomfort.
Urinary tract Problem created due to harmful organisms (UTIs) can also cause pelvic Discomfort in both men and women. Women are much more likely to suffer from UTIs, however. (In fact, while men may experience pelvic Discomfort, the symptom is almost invariably a woman's complaint.)
Another major cause of pelvic Discomfort is pelvic inflammatory problem (PID), an soreness of the fallopian tubes. Sexually transmitted problem is the most likely cause of PID, but other types of Problem created due to harmful organism may also be to blame.

Diagnosis

A thorough history and physical exam is required to explain the source of pelvic Discomfort. For starters, a physician will ask about every nuance of the Discomfort: 

  •  When did it start? 
  •  What does it feel like? 
  •  Where does it hurt? 
  •  When is the Discomfort most intense? 
  •  What makes it better or worse?
The answers to these questions may be vital to your diagnosis. For instance, Discomfort that flares up just before your period and reaches its peak right afterward is typical of endometriosis, whereas Discomfort that also shoots down your leg suggests uterine fibroids or polyps.
Your doctor will also ask about bowel and urinary habits, back injuries, sexually transmitted problems, and any previous surgeries in the pelvic or abdominal area.
