What Are the Symptoms of Chronic Pelvic Pain?

Every woman experiences occasional pelvic pain, often during menstruation, pregnancy, or menopause. But when pelvic pain lingers for long stretches of time or does not seem to be tied to your period or another clear issue, it’s time to seek medical assistance.

Chronic pelvic pain is defined as pain in the lower abdominal or pelvic region that lasts for six months or longer. It can be sharp or dull and happen at various times of day. However, pelvic pain does not have to occur every day for it to be considered chronic.

Chronic pelvic pain is often accompanied by abnormal bleeding, urinary incontinence, infertility, or other issues. But no matter how your pelvic pain occurs, rest assured that there are treatments that can help.

Dysmenorrhea (painful periods)
