Pelvic Pain & Menstrual Pain
Pelvic Pain: Pelvic pain refers to pain in the area below the belly button and between the hips. It can be caused by a variety of factors, including menstrual cramps, endometriosis, ovarian cysts, pelvic inflammatory disease, uterine fibroids, and urinary tract infections.
Menstrual pain, also known as dysmenorrhea, is pain and cramping that occurs during a woman’s menstrual period. It is caused by the contraction of the uterus as it sheds its lining. Menstrual pain can range from mild to severe and can be accompanied by other symptoms such as nausea, headache, and fatigue.
There are several treatments available for both pelvic pain and menstrual pain, including over-the-counter pain relievers, hormonal birth control, and prescription medications. Lifestyle changes such as exercise, stress reduction, and a healthy diet may also help alleviate symptoms.
If you are experiencing pelvic pain or menstrual pain, it is important to talk to your healthcare provider to determine the underlying cause and develop a treatment plan that works for you.
