Chronic Pelvic Pain

Chronic pelvic pain is persistent pain in the lower abdomen or pelvic area that lasts for six months or longer. It can affect anyone but is more common in women. The pain may result from various causes, including reproductive issues (like endometriosis), gastrointestinal conditions, or musculoskeletal problems. It can be continuous or come and go, affecting daily activities and quality of life. Treatment options vary and may include medications, physical therapy, lifestyle changes, or surgery, depending on the underlying cause. Consulting a healthcare provider is essential for proper diagnosis and management.
