Pelvic pain

The lowest region of the belly and pelvis is where pelvic pain is felt. Pelvic discomfort in women may be a sign of problems with the digestive, reproductive, or urinary systems, as well as musculoskeletal problems. Pelvic pain can be subtle, severe, or intermittent, depending on the cause. There are occasions when pelvic discomfort will spread to the thighs, buttocks, or lower back. Pelvic pain can be persistent or abrupt, severe, and brief (acute pelvic pain) (chronic pelvic pain).

If other health issues are what are causing your pelvic discomfort, you can get rid of them by treating those issues. In this syndrome, tissue from the uterine lining develops on the exterior of the uterus. These tissues respond to the menstrual cycle, just as the lining of the uterus thickens, breaks down, and bleeds each month, as hormone levels rise or fall. Because it occurs outside the ovarian, blood and tissue cannot exit the body through the vagina. Instead, they remain in the abdomen and they can lead to painful cysts and fibrous bands of scar tissue.
