Back and Pelvic Pain

Back and Pelvic Pain Back and pelvic pain is a relatively common combination of symptoms for many patients. Pelvis pain is much more common in women than in men. It is very important to get an accurate diagnosis when it comes to unexplained pain anywhere in the body, especially when pain is experienced in the internal organs. Pelvic pain can be an indicator of serious health concerns.

Back Pain Causing Pelvic Pain

Certain conditions in the lower back can cause direct or sympathetic pain in the pelvic region. Muscular injury is the most common cause of pelvic and lower back pain. A pulled, strained or sprained muscle or ligament can cause pain thoroughout the pelvic region. Pinched nerves leading to the pelvis and pelvic organs can certainly cause pain in the front and rear of the lower body. Herniated discs can also cause pain and other symptoms in the pelvic region.

WARNING: Incontinence, pain in the anus or genitals, or general pelvic numbness can be an indicator of cauda equina syndrome. This condition must be treated immediately, since damage to many lower body systems and neurological structures may become permanent.

Pelvic Pain Causing Back Pain

Health problems in the pelvic area can also cause direct or sympathetic pain in the lower back, buttocks, and legs. These symptoms often resemble sciatic nerve pain and can be difficult to diagnose. Make sure to report any new or changing pains to your doctor.

Pelvic Pain Concerns

The majority of all pelvic pain is experienced by women. Pelvic pain in men is usually due to some muscular injury and is rarely serious. However, there are some possible causes of pelvic pain in men that might indicate a serious health problem. Causes of pelvic pain can include:

* Irritable Bowel Syndrome

 * Prostatitis

* Ovarian or Uterine conditions.

* Chronic Pelvic Pain Syndrome (CPPS)

* Pelvic Adhesive Disease.

* Bladder Infections

* Sexually Transmitted Diseases.

* Endometriosis

* Menstrual Pain

Recommendation on Back and Pelvic Pain

The nerves in the lower back are often involved in chronic back and pelvis pain. Compressed nerve conditions can create a variety of symptoms affecting the lower back, pelvis and abdomen. Do not assume that pain is being caused by a problem in the back. Make sure to report ALL Symptoms to your doctor, even if they are embarrassing or sensitive. Often, muscle pain might be severe, but is rarely serious. Do not take chances with self diagnosis. Seek out proper medical attention to determine the true cause of your pain.
