Spinal pathologies
Pelvic Pain
Pelvic pain is a complex and multifactorial pathology that can significantly affect the physical functionality, quality of life, and emotional well-being of the patient.
It is characterized by pain located in the pelvis, suprapubic, gluteal, inguinal, genital or perineal region, and may radiate to the lumbar region, hips or lower extremities.
Pelvic pain can be acute or chronic and have a musculoskeletal, neuropathic, gynecological, urological, digestive or functional origin, with the coexistence of several pain mechanisms simultaneously being common.
Due to the anatomical and functional complexity of the pelvis, diagnosis and treatment require a highly specialized multidisciplinary assessment.
What structures can cause pelvic pain?
The pelvis contains a complex network of bony, muscular, ligamentous, nervous, and visceral structures that can become the source of pain.
Among the most frequent causes are:
- Sacroiliac and coccygeal pathology
- Pudendal nerve neuralgia
- Myofascial syndrome of the pelvic floor
- Pelvic neuropathic pain
- Endometriosis and gynecological pathology
- Painful bladder syndrome
- Chronic prostatitis and male pelvic pain
- Fibrosis and pelvic adhesions
- Hip and pelvic pathology
- Pelvic nerve entrapments
- Lumbopelvic biomechanical alterations
- Post-surgical or post-traumatic pain
Many patients have central and peripheral nerve sensitization associated with chronic pain.
What are the most common symptoms?
The symptoms can vary considerably depending on the affected structure and the predominant type of pain.
The most common symptoms include:
- Deep or diffuse pelvic pain
- Suprapubic, perineal or genital pain
- Buttock or groin pain
- Sensation of pressure or burning
- Pain when sitting
- Pain during sexual intercourse
- Urinary or intestinal disorders
- Pelvic floor muscle spasm
- Pain radiating to the lumbar region or lower extremities
- Hypersensitivity and neuropathic pain
In certain patients, pain can become chronic and generate a significant physical and emotional impact.

Diagnosing pelvic pain requires a comprehensive and highly specialized evaluation aimed at accurately identifying the structures responsible for the pain.
