What Is The Treatment For Severe Pelvic Pain?

I am a healthy 25 year old female suffering with pelvic pain for the last two days. I am also bloated and constipated. There have been a few changes to my lifestyle recently, namely; 1) I have removed processed, fatty foods from my diet, eating less meat and much larger quantities of fruit, fibre and nuts, seeds and raw vegetables. I have also been working out on an intense training program this week. I initially felt great after all these changes, but have suddenly felt progressively more bloated and awful tense pressure-like pain in my pelvic area - where a bikini would cover. Are my symptoms to be expected from the changes I have made, and will they get better? Or could there be something more worrying going on? I am not urinating more frequently or feeling a burning sensation as I pass urine. Discharge is increased, however - but I am in the middle of my cycle so this is common.

Hello,

The pelvic pain that you have reported here could be a simple period pain. Bloatedness is also part of the symptoms that happen as part of pre-menstrual and menstrual syndrome. I would suggest adhering to your healthy life schedule and observe the pain. If it does not improve with common painkillers, then consider having an examination and review by a Gynecologist.

If pain is relieved in the following few days - maintain a chart of your period for the next 3 cycles to see if there is a pattern to this pain.

Does it occur around the time of its period? Is it on one side or on whole of tummy? Does it pass to and affect other areas of the body? Is it relieved by pain killers, position change, or hot water bags? Is it occurring together with bowel upset, urination problems, feeling sickness or vomiting?

All this information will help plan line of investigation and tests, if necessary when pain remains persistent.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Sabina Hussain
