Chronic Pelvic Pain
Chronic pelvic pain is an incessant painful condition which is located at the pelvis, pelvic floor, lumbosacral region, and anterior abdominal wall or below. This condition can last for a minimum of six months and affect the individual’s daily life adversely. It affects the quality of life physically and socially by causing functioning disabilities or severe medical conditions. If the patient feels the pain to be non-acute or central sensitization mechanisms, then the condition can be liberated from any time frame, and is then called chronic. The patients suffering from this condition don’t only experience pain but also endure bladder or bowel dysfunction, reproductive disorder, and even anxiety or depression. The medical condition is not restricted to any specific gender and has a larger incidence in women than men. It is witnessed to occur in individuals who fall in 36 to 50 years.
What causes it?
The etiology of the disease is elusive to a certain extent, so it is complex to understand. However, some of the common causes of this debilitating condition include:
- Endometriosis: It is a condition in which tissues from the lining of the uterus grows outside of it, which leads to thickening, breaking down, and bleeding of your uterus lining with the fluctuation of hormones each month. It can also lead to cysts or fibroids.
- Pelvic Inflammatory Disease: It is a long-term infection that scars your pelvic organs.
- Fibroids: These are benign growth outside the uterus lining, which can cause sharp pain in the lower abdomen.
- Musculoskeletal Problems: These problems affect your bones, joints, or connective tissues, causing intense pain in your pelvic area.
- Irritable bowel syndrome: Bloating, diarrhea, or constipation can be inducing pressure in your pelvic area.
- Interstitial Cystitis: This is related to experiencing pain in your bladder, leading to frequent urination. This improves for the time being once you empty your bladder.
- Ovarian Remnant: A small piece of an ovary being left inside after a surgical operation of removing the uterus may cause this pelvic pain.
- Pelvic Congestion Syndrome: Enlarged or varicose-like veins around the uterus or ovaries can stimulate pain in the pelvic area. However, this is still under scrutiny.
Similarly, it is also believed that psychological factors such as stress, anxiety, or depression due to any trauma can integrate chronic physical pain in the pelvic area.
Find your cure from Floor Physiotherapy
An escape from CPP’s painful condition can be mitigated through the very effective sessions of floor physiotherapy. This approach aims to rehabilitate your pelvic floor muscles, ligaments, and connective tissues that support your pelvic organs. Men and women who experience pain in their pelvic regions can use this therapy to strengthen their floor muscles, bladder, and bowel control. In case of any inconvenience, the floor therapy comes with a treatment plan that helps restore the core strength and functionality of the pelvic floor muscles.
Floor therapy helps with the difficulty in bowel or bladder movements, fecal incontinence, pelvic pain, constipation, endometriosis, Interstitial Cystitis, vaginismus, pregnancy wellness, and menopause symptoms. The professional and competent physicians use specific treatment techniques and exercise methods to reduce the pain, rehabilitate the strength, and increase mobility. People suffering from the condition of CPP always look for relief, and floor physiotherapy is the best way to attain that. The physicians will screen your condition deeply to organize a proper plan that best suits your treatment. However, the results of the therapy may vary from person to person.
