We understand that pelvic pain can be complex and multifactorial. Pelvic pain refers to discomfort in the pelvic region and can have various causes in both men and women. In women it may stem from reproductive organs such as the uterus, ovaries, fallopian tubes, cervix, and vagina, as well as non-reproductive internal organs like the bowels and bladder. Persistent pelvic pain, also known as chronic pelvic pain, can be present on most days for six months or more and affects approximately one in five women in Australia.
Conditions such as menstrual cramps, endometriosis, uterine fibroids, scar tissue, recurrent urinary tract infections, and tight pelvic floor muscles are some of the common causes of chronic pelvic pain. There are also other factors related to the digestive, urinary, or nervous systems can also contribute to pelvic pain.
