1 IN 5 WOMEN EXPERIENCED PERSISTENT PELVIC PIAN BUT IT RARELY SPOKEN ABOUT.
Is pelvic pain stopping you doing things you enjoy, such as exercise, social activities or intimacy?
Chronic Pelvic Pain felt in the pelvic area, which can include the vagina, anus, coccyx, lower abdomen, hips, present for more than 6 months. Those experiencing pelvic pain will often also notice changes in their bladder or bowel function or have pain with sex.
Pelvic pain is unique as the pelvis is home to the reproductive organs and crucial private bodily functions that we often don’t talk about, making pain in this area highly distressing.
