- Endometriosis: It is a condition in which the tissues in the inner lining of the uterus grow outwards on the bowels or bladder.
- Uterine fibroids: These are noncancerous tumours that can cause severe discomfort.
- Menstrual Cramps: Menstrual cramps can cause chronic inflammation that leads to pelvic pain.
- Urinary tract infection: UTIs cause inflammation in the bladder which leads to pelvic pain.
- Ectopic Pregnancy: Ectopic pregnancy is a condition where the fetus starts to grow outside the womb. This causes severe pelvic pain and needs to be addressed as soon as possible.
- Miscarriage: Post-miscarriage, the body tries to adjust to the pre-pregnancy state which can cause severe bleeding, discomfort and pelvic pain.
