So, what exactly is chronic pelvic pain?
It’s pain that sticks around in your lower belly or pelvic area for six months or more. For some, it shows up every day; for others, it comes and goes. It might feel like dull aching, sharp stabs, pressure, or even cramps that never really go away. And it’s not just “bad period pain", this kind of pain can show up during sex, while using the bathroom, or totally out of nowhere.
It is important to note that pelvic pain can affect anyone with a pelvis. It primarily happens to females.
Chronic pelvic pain isn’t a diagnosis in itself, it’s more like a red flag that something deeper is going on. That could be things like endometriosis, adenomyosis, IBS, interstitial cystitis, or pelvic floor dysfunction.
The tricky part? It’s often dismissed or brushed off, which can make it feel super isolating. But your pain is real and you deserve to be heard, supported, and offered real solutions.
Why Awareness Matters
Pelvic pain is often misunderstood, brushed off as “just bad cramps” or something you’re supposed to deal with. But chronic pain that affects your daily life isn’t normal and it shouldn’t be ignored.
There’s a lot of stigma and a lack of education around pelvic health, which leads to delayed diagnoses and people feeling unheard. That’s why awareness matters so much.
When we talk about pelvic pain, we break the silence, challenge the myths, and create space for others to feel seen. Advocacy and peer support can be incredibly powerful because no one should have to navigate this alone.
