What Is Pelvic Pain? 

Pelvic pain is any discomfort that occurs in the lower abdomen or pelvic region. It can be sharp or dull, constant or intermittent. Some people experience pain related to specific activities like intimacy or exercise, while others notice ongoing tension, bloating, or burning. 

• Acute Pelvic Pain: Sudden pain that may resolve quickly 
• Chronic Pelvic Pain: Pain that lasts for six months or longer and may fluctuate in intensity 

Common Triggers & Activities That Can Worsen Pelvic Pain 

• Pain during or after intercourse 
• Discomfort with urination or bowel movements 
• Long periods of standing or sitting 
• Certain foods or digestive patterns 
• Exercise or high-impact movement 

If you recognize these patterns, you may benefit from a pelvic health evaluation and personalized therapy plan.
