Common Pelvic Pain Causes

We at Atlas Pain Management know how unpleasant and painful pelvic pain may be. The pelvis is a complex structure made up of bones, joints, muscles, and other soft tissues, and pain in this area can have a variety of causes.

Some common causes of pelvis pain include:

  • Musculoskeletal issues: Pelvic pain can be caused by problems with the bones, joints, muscles, or other soft tissues in the pelvis. This can include conditions such as osteoarthritis, hip bursitis, or a muscle strain.
  • Gynecological problems: Women may experience pelvic pain due to issues with their reproductive system, such as endometriosis, uterine fibroids, or ovarian cysts.
  • Urological issues: Men and women can experience pelvis pain due to problems with the urinary system, such as kidney stones or an infection.
  • Digestive issues: Pelvic pain can also be caused by problems with the digestive system, such as inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) or irritable bowel syndrome (IBS).
  • Other medical conditions: Pelvic pain can also be a symptom of other medical conditions, such as cancer or an abscess.

At Atlas Pain Management, we have a team of experts who can help you find the cause of your pelvis pain. Our specialists will work with you to assess your medical history, perform a physical examination, and possibly order additional tests, such as imaging studies or lab work, to determine the underlying cause of your pain.

Common Pelvic Pain Symptoms

The pelvis is a large structure encompassing many different organs and systems, and pain in this area can have a variety of causes and symptoms.

Some common symptoms of pelvic pain include:

  • Persistent or chronic pain: Pelvic pain that lasts more than a few days or occurs regularly may be a sign of an underlying problem.
  • Pain during sexual intercourse: Pain during or after sexual activity can be a symptom of a variety of conditions, including sexually transmitted infections (STIs) or reproductive organ problems.
  • Painful urination: Pain or discomfort while urinating can signify a urinary tract infection (UTI) or other issue with the urinary system.
  • Constipation or diarrhea: Changes in bowel movements or difficulty passing stools can be a sign of digestive issues, such as inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) or irritable bowel syndrome (IBS).
  • Painful periods: Women may experience pelvic pain during their menstrual cycle due to endometriosis or uterine fibroids.

Many unique conditions can cause pelvic pain, and the symptoms may vary depending on the underlying cause. For example, ovarian cysts may cause abdominal pain, bloat, and pelvic pain.  Kidney stones may cause pain in the side or back in addition to pain during urination.

It's also important to remember that a medical condition causes not all pelvic pain.  Stress or emotional issues may contribute to pelvic pain in some cases.

At Atlas Pain Specialists, we can help you identify the root cause of your pain and provide the appropriate treatment, whether it be medical or psychological in nature.

Common Treatments For Pelvic Pain

If you are experiencing pelvic pain, our team is here to help you find relief and improve your quality of life. The first step in treating pelvic pain is to identify the underlying cause of the pain.

Our specialists will work with you to assess your medical history, perform a physical examination, and possibly order additional tests, such as imaging studies or lab work, to determine the root cause of your pain.

Once we have identified the cause of your pelvic pain, we will develop a personalized treatment plan to help alleviate your symptoms.  Treatment options may include:

  • Medications: Depending on the cause of your pelvic pain, we may recommend certain medications to help reduce inflammation or manage pain.
  • Physical therapy: Physical therapy can help relieve muscle tension and strengthen the muscles in the pelvic region.
  • Injections: In some cases, we may recommend injections to help reduce inflammation and alleviate pain.
  • Non-invasive or minimally-invasive procedures: We may also recommend non-invasive or minimally-invasive procedures, such as laser therapy or radiofrequency ablation, to help reduce pain and improve function.

It's important to note that the specific treatment plan will depend on the underlying cause of your pelvic pain and your individual needs and preferences. Our team will work with you to determine the best course of action to help alleviate your symptoms and improve your quality of life.

At-Home Treatment Tips For Your Pelvic Pain

If you are experiencing pelvic pain, here are a few tips that may help alleviate your symptoms:

  • Practice good posture: Maintaining good posture can help reduce strain on the muscles in the pelvic region and reduce pain.
  • Use heat or cold therapy: Applying heat or cold to the affected area can help reduce inflammation and alleviate pain.
  • Engage in gentle exercise: Gentle exercise, such as walking or stretching, can help strengthen the muscles in the pelvic region and improve function.
  • Practice relaxation techniques: Techniques such as deep breathing or meditation can help reduce stress and manage pain.
  • Seek medical attention: If your pelvic pain is persistent or severe, it's important to seek medical attention.  A healthcare provider can help identify the underlying cause of your pain and develop a treatment plan to alleviate your symptoms.

It's important to remember that everyone is different, and what works for one person may not work for another. If you are experiencing pelvic pain, it's best to speak with a healthcare provider to determine the best course of action for your specific situation.

Chronic Pain
Chronic pain is a common problem that can cause significant physical and emotional distress. When you have chronic pain, you may experience pain every day, even after the original injury or illness has healed. This can be difficult to cope with, both physically and emotionally. Approximately 25% of people with chronic pain will develop chronic pain syndrome (CPS), which is characterized by symptoms beyond pain, like depression and anxiety. This can make it difficult to live your life normally.

Neck Pain
The neck (or cervical spine) is a coordinated network of nerves, bones, joints, and muscles. It has the important job of providing protection and mobility to the brain, but often it can become painful. There are a number of conditions that cause pain in the neck. Inflammation along nerve pathways in the spine can be responsible for shoulder, head, arm, and/or hand pain. Additionally, inflammation of the spinal cord may cause pain in the legs and other areas of the body. In a few days or weeks, neck pain usually goes away, but pain that lasts for months may signify an underlying medical cause that needs to be addressed. In such cases, early intervention may be necessary for the best results.
