What is Chronic Pelvic Pain?

Chronic Pelvic Pain is when an individual suffers from pain that occurs in the pelvic area, located under your belly button and between your hips, for at least a six-month period of time. Chronic pain can remain persistent and prolonged, or it can come and go.

Possible Causes of Pelvic Pain

There are various causes of Chronic Pelvic Pain that are not related to infertility. There are causes such as hernias, chronic appendicitis, bowel disease, and irritable bowel syndrome to name a few. Pelvic pain tat is related to infertility may be caused by a number of factors including, but not limited to, the following:

Endometriosis

Endometriosis is when tissue from the endometrium is found outside of the uterus, which may adhere to the ovaries, bladder, outside of the uterus or bowel. 

Pelvic Adhesions

Pelvic adhesions may be due to endometriosis, pelvic infections, or surgeries. Scar tissues can cause organs to adhere or stick to each other causing pain or discomfort.

Adenomyosis

The endometrium grows into the wall of the uterus and usually causes painful and heavy menstrual periods.

Fibroids

Fibroids are benign tumors of the muscle in the uterine wall. They can be found on the outside wall of the uterus, middle of the uterus, or in the uterine cavity.
