Common Causes of Pelvic Pain

Pelvic floor issues can show up in just about everyone; however, there are several common causes of pelvic floor dysfunction. Some of the most common causes of pelvic floor issues include:

Muscle Overuse

One of the most common causes of pelvic floor issues is muscle overuse. If you use the muscles in your pelvic floor regularly, your muscles can get tired. They may not respond when you try to contact them, and the fibers could get stretched too far. This can lead to a wide variety of pelvic problems.

Pregnancy

Another common cause of pelvic floor issues is pregnancy. When women get pregnant, the uterus expands significantly. This causes the muscles of the pelvic floor to expand significantly as well. Then, during the childbirth process, muscles in the pelvic floor could get damaged. It can take a long time for the muscles in the pelvic floor to heal, leading to a wide variety of pelvic problems.

Traumatic Injuries

It is also possible for someone to develop a pelvic floor issue following a traumatic injury. For example, if you are involved in a motor vehicle accident, you could sustain either acute or blunt-force trauma to the pelvis. This can lead to injuries involving the pelvic floor, which can lead to pelvic dysfunction. This can create a significant quality-of-life issue.

Pelvic Floor Symptoms and Conditions

Similar to other conditions, pelvic floor dysfunction can present with a wide variety of symptoms depending on the severity of the issue. Some of the most common symptoms of pelvic floor problems include:

Stress Incontinence

The muscles of the pelvic floor are responsible for constricting sphincters for both the bowel and the bladder. If you have issues with the muscles of your pelvic floor, you could experience stress incontinence. This means that when you sneeze, laugh, or put stress on your pelvic muscles, you may feel a small amount of urine leak from your bladder.

Pain During Sexual Intercourse

If you have pelvic floor problems, you may also experience pain during sexual intercourse. The muscles in the pelvis play a significant role during sexual intercourse. If they are damaged, you may feel uncomfortable during intercourse. For example, you may feel shooting or stabbing pains traveling from the pelvis up to the abdomen or the lower back.

Lower Back Pain

You may also experience lower back pain if you have an issue involving your pelvic floor. If the muscles in your pelvis are weak, the muscles, ligaments, and tendons in your back will have to pick up the slack to support the rest of your body. As a result, these muscles could get tired, leading to lower back pain. This could make it difficult for you to sit comfortably, stand for prolonged periods of time, or sleep comfortably at night. That is where pelvic floor therapy could help you.
