Question 3

do sitting for long hours cause pelvic pain?

Accepted Answer

Pelvic pain: This should not cause pelvic pain.

Question 4

what if a woman can't find the cause of her pelvic pain?

Accepted Answer

Pain management: Medicine is sometimes just not sophisticated enough to figure out what causes some pelvic pain.  If you have gotten to the end of the road, you should try a pain management doctor. While they won't cure the problem, they can help the pain.  First, make sure you have been evaluated for gyn causes, along with urologic, gastrointestinal and musculoskeletal causes.  Those are the most common causes.

Question 5

cause of lower pelvic pain with stretching pulling sensation?

Accepted Answer

Ligaments: In men and women this can be the presentation of an inguinal hernia.  Other possibilities are ligaments stretching, irritation of the illioinguinal or genitofermoral nerves, or loosening of scar tissue from previous inguinal or low abdominal surgery.  Pelvic mass is also possible.  This is obviously a nonspecific sign so physical examination is key in helping to determine the cause.    See your gp.

Question 6

can't find the cause of pelvic pain on exam or us. is scope next?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Unfortunately a laparoscopy is probably your next step.  It is a surgery, and you don't want the solution to be worse than the problem.  I always defer to the patient when we talk about surgery for pain to make sure in their mind the pain they have would be worth having a surgery.

Question 7

can exercises and physical activities cause worsening of pelvic pain?

Accepted Answer

Need to know cause: There are so many causes of pelvic pain the most important step is to narrow it down. Exercise and physical activity may make the pain worse but may or may not affect the underlying cause.

Question 8

Accepted Answer

: The reason might have to do with the condition being treated with Zoladex and your doc should be aware of your new symptom.

Question 9

can intercourse cause pelvic pain?

Accepted Answer

Yes: A lot of factors could cause it. If you are with the same partner and doing essentially the same things you always do then a sudden onset of pelvic pain is concerning. If you have discharge, fever or pain persists after 24 hours get checked

Question 10

Many things: Common causes of pelvic pain/pressure are endometriosis, adhesions, fibroids, ovarian cysts, adenomyosis, and pelvic infections.  Pelvic pain can also be due to irritable bowel or bladder inflammation.  Cancer must also be considered.  See your doctor to sort out what is going on with you and to get the right treatment.
