Pelvic Pain

Urinary System Pelvic Pain

Pelvic pain can be caused by painful bladder syndrome (interstitial cystitis), kidney stones, and urinary tract infections. Symptoms may include frequent urination, and the pain can be dull or sharp.

If your pelvic pain is related to your urinary system, a urologist can help work to identify the cause or your pain and potential solutions.

Other Causes of Pelvic Pain in Women

Many women may experience chronic pelvic pain related to the reproductive system, due to conditions such as endometriosis, menstrual cramps, ovarian cysts, and pelvic inflammatory disease. 

Non-reproductive system causes may include appendicitis, constipation, Crohn's disease, fibromyalgia, hernia, irritable bowel syndrome, and more.

If your pelvic pain is related to your reproductive system, it may be helpful to see a gynecologist. Gastroenterologists specialize in conditions of the digestive tract, and can help diagnose and treat intestinal conditions.
