Consultation

Pelvic pain

Pelvic pain may be felt in the lower abdomen, the groin, the perineum, the genitals or the anal region. Physiotherapy addresses the muscular and functional factors that may contribute to that pain.

What it is

It can appear when sitting, urinating, emptying the bowel, exercising or having sex. Causes vary and, in some people, it comes with sensitivity or difficulty relaxing the muscles.

Physiotherapy addresses the muscular and functional factors that may contribute to pain, as part of comprehensive care. We coordinate with gynaecology, urology or other professionals when needed.

Who it is for

  • Women and men with pelvic pain and associated muscle or movement changes.
  • It may form part of care for people with endometriosis, vulvar pain, perineal pain or persistent pain after surgery, according to the assessment.

Good to know

  • Pelvic pain may have gynaecological, urological, digestive, neurological or musculoskeletal causes, so the assessment is comprehensive and, when needed, we coordinate with other professionals.
  • If you already have a diagnosis (for example, endometriosis), physiotherapy adds to comprehensive care; it does not replace medical management.

Frequently asked questions

Before your visit

What people most often ask before booking this consultation at Traña.

Does all pelvic pain come from the muscles?

No. It may have gynaecological, urological, digestive, neurological or musculoskeletal causes, among others.

Does physiotherapy cure endometriosis?

It does not remove endometriotic lesions. It can help with associated muscular and functional problems as part of comprehensive care.

Do I have to strengthen even if it hurts?

Not always. Some people need to start with relaxation, coordination and movement they can tolerate, and only then move into an appropriate strengthening process.

Can I have treatment if I cannot tolerate an internal examination?

Yes. We can start with an interview, external assessment and strategies adapted to what you can tolerate.
