Female Pelvic Pain Video Transcription
Pelvic pain is a complex multifaceted condition. For women, it can be felt in their vagina, in the lower abdomen, in the lumbar, in the sacral region, the buttocks, and then, of course, the entire pelvic region where it can be felt in something called the perineal area. It can go down their leg, it can radiate up towards the thoracic spine, quite often it can be felt in the bladder, and the urethra, and/or the rectum.

Some things that are unique to females are vulvodynia and/or vaginismus, underlying gynecological disorders such as endometriosis, polycystic ovarian syndrome, uterine fibroids, and/or ovarian cysts that can cause pelvic pain, vaginal delivery. There is a strong hormonal component to pelvic pain with females. You can have something called pubic symphysis dysfunction or pain in your pubic symphysis, sacroiliac joint dysfunction, this can happen with pregnancy itself with or without a vaginal delivery.

Can’t wait to show this to my gynie- whom, I’m sure, will shrug it off as nonsense because it isn’t anything she wants to deal with. Going on 8 months of sever pain in abdomen and pelvic area…sigh…time to find yet another gynecologist who MAYBE will take my symptoms seriously and help me construct a path to finding out what this problem is. Strength to all who are suffering.💕

Keep in mind that it can be oxalate toxicity. Oxalates are plant toxins that are normally degraded by a specific bacteria in the human digestive tract. But some people can’t digest them, especially if they took antibiotics that wiped out that helpful bacteria. Then oxalates form sharp microscopic crystals that can cause urinary or vaginal pain. In that case, a low-oxalate diet can help.
