Expert Pelvic Pain & Pain During Sexual Activity Treatment At White Hart Clinic
Pelvic pain refers to discomfort felt in the lower abdomen, pelvis or genital area. It may be constant or come and go, and can be linked to movement, sitting, bladder or bowel function or sexual activity. Pain during sexual activity is also common but often underreported and it can significantly impact quality of life and relationships.
Pelvic pain is often related to tension, weakness, or poor coordination of the pelvic floor muscles, as well as surrounding joints, nerves and soft tissues. With the right support, these symptoms can be effectively managed and improved.
