Women and Pelvic pain


Most women, sometime in their lives and/or pregnancy, experience pelvic pain. It 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.
