Women and Pelvic pain
Most women, sometime in their lives (frequently during pregnancy), experience pelvic pain. It is normally caused by:
- normal functioning of the reproductive system
- uterine, vaginal, ovarian, cervical, or cystic abnormalties/damage
- menstral cycle
- or even that a fetus is ready to be birthed.
In cases such as appendicitus, or ruptured tubal pregnancy, immediate medical attention is required. The main way to tell if you have a ruptured (ectopic) pregnancy is if menstrual-like bleeding occurs along with the pain. Another case is ovarian cysts, when it/they twist, called torsion. This will cut off circulation to the ovary, and if not removed, kill it, and it will be removed along with the ovary.
