Chronic Pelvic Pain
Many women experience symptoms of pelvic pain for more than 6 months. Some causes are diagnosed by laparascopic surgery, such as endometriosis, uterine fibroids, adhesions and others. However, the majority of women find no specific cause for their symptoms. Pelvic pain is located in the lower abdomen and pelvis. Some women also experience vaginal, rectal and bladder pain. Symptoms can sometimes feel similar to bladder infections or tension around the vaginal entrance. Prolonged sitting can also increase symptoms as the muscles and nerves become irritated.
Physiotherapy assessment and treatment can reduce muscle tension and reduce nerve irritation.
