Introduction


Chronic pelvic pain

 

Chronic pelvic pain refers to any pain that lasts six months or longer in your pelvic region. Pelvic region is the area below your navel and between your hips.  The pain is more generalized over the area rather than localized. This form of pain can be diagnosed as a condition on its own or be associated with a pathology in the pelvic area.

The cause of CPP can be very difficult to determine and can lead to frustration for individuals who suffer from CPP.  Surprisingly, no physical cause may ever be discovered.  According to statistics, as many as 61% of women who experience CPP never receive a specific diagnosis.

  

Signs and symptoms

Chronic pelvic pain exhibits many different characteristics. Some of the signs and symptoms are:

    * Severe and steady pain
    * Intermittent Pain (pain that comes and goes)
    * Dull/ achy                                                                                                                                                                                 * Sharp pain or cramping
    * Pressure or heaviness deep within your pelvis

In addition, you may experience pain when you are sitting, while having a bowel movement and even during sexual intercourse.  Prolonged standing may intensify the pain while sitting down may relieve it. The pain can become intolerable to the point of affecting your day to day activities.  It can vary from mild to severe, from annoying to disabling.  CPP can also contribute to back pain.
