What May Be Causing Your Chronic Pelvic Pain
Chronic Prostatitis
This is an inflammation of the prostate gland. It causes pelvic pain, urinary urgency, burning during urination, and discomfort in the groin or lower back. Possible causes are nerve sensitivity, inflammation, or muscle tension.
Treatments for Chronic Prostatitis include anti-inflammatory medications, pelvic floor therapy, alpha-blockers, and lifestyle changes.
Interstitial Cystitis
Interstitial cystitis is a chronic bladder condition that causes pelvic pain, frequent urination, and bladder pressure without infection. It often overlaps with prostatitis, which makes diagnosis difficult. Treatments for interstitial cystitis include bladder training, dietary changes, medications, and pelvic floor therapy.
Pelvic Vein Congestion
This is caused by veins in the pelvis becoming swollen or blocked. This disrupts blood flow, leading to a deep and aching pain. It is similar to varicose veins but occurs inside the pelvis. Treatment for Pelvic Vein Congestion includes compression therapy, vein embolisation, lifestyle modifications, and anti-inflammatory medications.
Pelvic Floor Muscle Spasms
Tight or overactive pelvic floor muscles can lead to ongoing pain, difficulty urinating, and sexual dysfunction. Stress, poor posture, and past injuries can cause muscle tension, making the pain worse over time. Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy can help treat pelvic floor muscle spasms by reducing muscle tension, improving blood flow, and promoting tissue healing. The low-intensity shockwaves break down trigger points and relax tight pelvic muscles, providing pain relief and improved mobility over time.
