Chronic Pelvic Pain

Chronic pelvic pain is pain in the area below the bellybutton and between the hips that lasts six months or longer.

Chronic pelvic pain can have more than one cause. It may be a symptom of another disease, or it can be a condition in its own right.

If chronic pelvic pain seems to be caused by another health condition, treating that problem may get rid of the pain.

But tests may not be able to find a cause for chronic pelvic pain. In that case, the goal of treatment is to ease pain and other symptoms. That could make your quality of life better.
