What Causes Lower Pelvic Pain?

I have been having sharp pains in the lower pelvic area but no one seems to know why. Already have been to a urologist and still no answer. A CT scan was also done but not sure if they were looking in the right place. So I am trying to figure it out myself. Am 62 so not periods or menopause anymore. Any suggestions?
