Understanding the Causes of Pelvic Pain

Pelvic pain is a common yet complex symptom that can stem from various conditions, including fibroids, endometriosis, PCOS, adenomyosis, and more.

Many women experience frustration when seeking answers, often turning to the internet and social media for guidance. However, finding reliable information and accurate diagnoses is crucial to getting relief.

At Dallas Fibroid Center, we specialize in diagnosing and treating conditions that cause pelvic pain, particularly uterine fibroids. By exploring potential causes and treatment options, we aim to help women find lasting relief.

Common Causes of Pelvic Pain  

Pelvic pain can originate from several underlying conditions, including:

• Uterine Fibroids – Benign muscular tumors that develop within or on the uterus, leading to cramping, pressure, and chronic pelvic pain. Fibroids can often be treated with Uterine Fibroid Embolization (UFE), a non-surgical procedure that relieves symptoms by cutting off blood flow to fibroids.
• Endometriosis – A condition where endometrial tissue grows outside the uterus, causing severe pain and heavy periods.
• PCOS (Polycystic Ovary Syndrome) – A hormonal disorder characterized by ovarian cysts, irregular periods, and pelvic discomfort.
• Adenomyosis – A disorder where endometrial tissue grows into the uterine walls, leading to an enlarged uterus, severe cramps, and painful periods.
• Pelvic Congestion Syndrome (PCS) – A condition caused by varicose veins in the pelvic region, leading to chronic aching pain.

The Emotional Toll of Chronic Pelvic Pain

Pelvic pain doesn’t just affect physical health—it also takes an emotional toll.

Studies show that up to 70% of women with chronic pelvic pain experience anxiety and depression. Delays in diagnosis and ineffective treatments only add to the stress, making it essential to find experienced specialists who take women’s concerns seriously.

Why Do Women Search Online for Pelvic Pain Answers?

With many women struggling to receive a clear diagnosis, social media has become a popular resource for those experiencing pelvic pain.

A recent survey found that women with chronic pelvic pain are nearly twice as likely to seek answers online compared to those without pain. Unfortunately, relying on the internet alone can lead to misinformation, delays in treatment, and unnecessary anxiety.

Instead of relying solely on online searches, seeking expert medical advice from specialists can provide clarity and effective treatment options.

Minimally Invasive Pelvic Pain Treatments

If fibroids, adenomyosis, or PCS cause pelvic pain, non-surgical treatment options like UFE or Pelvic Vein Embolization (PVE) may offer relief. Interventional radiologists perform these procedures, which have been proven effective in reducing pain and improving quality of life.
