Surprisingly enough – chronic pelvic pain can be caused by varicose veins. (http://ow.ly/JGkY30jEOOX)

Chronic pelvic pain can be caused by a variety of factors, but a more unusual cause that’s often overlooked is varicose veins, or pelvic congestion syndrome. The condition involves varicose veins that develop in the pelvis. The valves don’t function properly and cause blood to back up in the pelvis, resulting in pain. Certain hormonal medications and therapies can reduce the blood flow of varicose veins. If you have pelvic pain, visit Dr. Halpin to uncover the root cause and find relief.

This helpful physical therapist talks pelvic pain and incontinence – common health problems in the United States. (http://www.communityhealthmagazine.com/just_for_you/women/ending-the-struggle-of-pelvic-pain-and-incontinence/article_81c2cbb6-2d3b-11e8-ac6b-1fe7a0d5287a.html)

As well as exercises and maintaining a healthy lifestyle at home, you should also see an incontinence specialist like Dr. Halpin for valuable medical support and treatment.

Some of the pregnancy symptoms occur due to hormonal changes. Some of the symptoms are similar to premenstrual symptoms for many women, leading them to be dismissive and write off the symptoms as being normal.
