Pelvic Pain Q&A

What is pelvic pain?

Pelvic pain affects the lower abdomen and can be a chronic condition or occur occasionally. The pain you feel may be a persistent sharp or stabbing pain in a specific region of your pelvis or a dull ache that you feel throughout your abdomen. Chronic pelvic pain may be your diagnosis if you experience it frequently for at least six consecutive months.

In some cases, the severity of your pelvic pain can limit your ability to do your job or participate in your normal activities.

What causes pelvic pain?

Pelvic pain may be the result of your menstrual period or only occur during sexual intercourse. Pain may also indicate there is an infection, disease, or disorder of your uterus, cervix, vagina, ovaries, or fallopian tubes.

Common conditions that may cause pelvic pain include:

  • Fibroids
  • Endometriosis
  • Prolapsed uterus
  • Bladder conditions
  • Gonorrhea or other STD
  • Irritable bowel syndrome
  • Pelvic inflammatory disease (PID)


Pelvic pain can also result from other medical conditions, and your Boro Park OB/GYN physician discusses your previous medical history, sexual activity, and your symptoms to determine what may be causing your pelvic pain.

How is pelvic pain diagnosed?

Your doctor may initially perform a pelvic exam to identify abnormalities in your reproductive organs. They may also request blood work or a urine sample to diagnose your pelvic pain.

If these tests don’t provide a diagnosis, additional testing may be necessary. Your doctor may use a sonogram to get a closer look at your reproductive organs and identify abnormalities, such as fibroids or tumors, causing your pelvic pain.

What treatments are available for pelvic pain?

Your doctor may recommend a prescription or over-the-counter medications to alleviate pelvic pain and inflammation. If the cause of your pain is a bacterial infection, you may receive a prescription for antibiotics. In some cases, hormone therapy may prevent pelvic pain during your menstrual cycle.

To treat pelvic pain due to endometriosis or fibroids, your doctor may suggest minimally invasive laparoscopic surgery to remove excess tissue growth.

For more serious conditions of the reproductive system, your doctor may recommend a full or partial hysterectomy to address pelvic pain due to medical complications in the ovaries, fallopian tubes, or uterus.
