Pelvic pain can vary depending on the cause. For some, the pain is dull and achy, but sharp and severe for others. It may also feel like pressure, cramping, or throbbing sensation in the lower abdominal area.
The pain may happen suddenly and severely or develop slowly over time. For some, the pain comes and goes, usually in tune with their menstrual cycle. Others may feel pelvic pain all the time.
You should schedule an appointment with Dr. Aldabbagh at Trusted Women’s Health Center if your pelvic pain is severe, chronic, or an ongoing problem. Pelvic pain is a common symptom of many gynecological conditions, and if your pain is severe or an ongoing symptom, then it’s important to get it checked out and find the cause.
Dr. Aldabbagh asks detailed questions about your symptoms and reviews your gynecological and medical history. He also asks about your family health history and performs a physical exam. Dr. Aldabbagh orders diagnostic tests such as bloodwork or imaging tests to confirm or rule out the cause of your pelvic pain.
Pelvic pain can occur from many causes. The lower abdominal area is home to many vital organs, including your reproductive organs, urinary system, and large intestine. Any condition or disease affecting any of these body parts may cause pelvic pain.
Common gynecological conditions that cause pelvic pain include:
