Chronic pelvic pain is pain in the pelvic area that lasts for 6 months or longer. Chronic pain can come and go, or it can be constant. It does not have to occur every day for it to be considered chronic. Sometimes chronic pelvic pain follows a regular cycle. For example, it may occur during menstruation. Or it may only occur at certain times, such as before or after eating, while urinating, or during sex.
If the cause of the pain is found, it can be treated. If a cause is not known, treatment focuses on pain relief. It’s important to not give up on treatment if a cause is not found. There are many ways to lessen or relieve pain or to avoid making it worse.
