Why Do I Have Pelvic Pain?
Pain in any area is often a sign that something is injured or damaged in your body. When it comes to your pelvic region, issues with your bladder, bowels, or reproductive organs are sometimes to blame. Other times though, pelvic pain may be a sign of:
- Fibromyalgia
- Strain or sprain
- Nerve disorders
- Pelvic floor issues
- Muscle spasms, as with levator syndrome
- Pelvic congestion syndrome (vein problems)
You may also be experiencing pelvic pain because of joint issues in your hips, which may be a sign of arthritis. No matter what’s causing your pelvic pain, it’s important to find out why and to get started on treatment before your condition worsens.
