What health conditions can be related to feminine pelvic pain?


Feminine pelvic pain is not always related to a serious health condition or disease and may only last temporarily. However, in some cases this type of pain could be due to a serious medical condition. Pelvic Inflammatory Disease is an infection within the female reproductive organs that causes pelvic pain, pain during sexual relations, and cervical motion tenderness. An Ectopic Pregnancy in which a fertilized egg implants itself outside of the uterus and causes severe pelvic pain, as well as vomiting and cramping. Ovarian torsion is caused by an ovary that is twisted and results in decreased blood flow to the ovary. The ovary then begins to swell and causes pain in the pelvic area. Another common feminine disorder creating pain in the pelvis is Endometriosis. With this disorder tissue that normally lines the uterus begins to grow outside of the uterus and causes pelvic pain and cramping. Fibroids, Irritable Bowel Syndrome ( IBS), and psychological factors can also contribute to pelvic pain.
