May is pelvic pain awareness month. So many of us experience pelvic pain over the course of our lifespan, and yet it is rarely discussed and very under diagnosed.
Pelvic pain can be experienced in and around the pelvic area, and can include pain in the abdominal area, low back, sacroiliac joints, tailbone, p***c bone, groin area, hips, and internal organs. Basically, it can include pain experienced anywhere around the pelvis. Pelvic pain is unique and that it can affect bladder, bowel, and s*xual function. So, if you have pain with s*x or pain with bladder filling, you have pelvic pain.
Over the next month, we will dive into different types of pelvic pain and explore treatment options.
Pelvic floor physical therapy is one treatment option for pelvic pain. If you have specific questions about your individual pain, don’t hesitate to reach out!
