Symptoms of chronic pelvic pain

Chronic pelvic pain may be caused by chronic pelvic inflammatory disease, and is often associated with scar adhesions or pelvic congestion. Symptoms may include aching pain in the lower back and sacral area, as well as heaviness or pain in the lower abdomen. These symptoms are particularly noticeable after physical fatigue, prolonged standing, or sexual intercourse. In severe cases, normal work activities can be affected, and menstrual patterns may also be disrupted, leading to heavy menstrual bleeding, dysmenorrhea, menstrual irregularities, and discomfort during intercourse.
