Overview

Chronic pelvic pain refers to pain in the lower abdomen, hips, or pelvic region that lasts for several months or longer. It may come and go or be constant, and it can affect both men and women. This type of pain isn’t always linked to a single cause—it may involve muscles, nerves, joints, posture, or even past injuries. It can also overlap with other health conditions like bladder issues or digestive discomfort.

Common Symptoms

• Ongoing or recurring pain in the lower abdomen, hips, or pelvic area
• Pain with sitting, walking, or certain movements
• Discomfort during urination, bowel movements, or sexual activity
• Muscle tightness, pressure, or aching in the pelvis
• Difficulty identifying a clear cause despite testing or imaging

Possible Contributing Factors

• Muscle tension or pelvic floor dysfunction
• Nerve irritation or sensitivity
• Past surgeries, injuries, or childbirth
• Prolonged sitting or work-related postural strain
• Emotional stress or prior trauma that may increase pain sensitivity
