What Are the Common Causes of Chronic Gynecological Pain?
There are several potential causes of chronic gynecological pain, including:
- Endometriosis: This occurs when tissue similar to the lining inside the uterus grows outside of it, causing pain and irregular bleeding. - Pelvic Inflammatory Disease (PID): An infection of the female reproductive organs that can cause chronic pain if not treated timely. - Fibroids: Noncancerous growths in the uterus that can cause significant discomfort. - Ovarian Cysts: Fluid-filled sacs in the ovaries that can cause pain, especially if they rupture. - Interstitial Cystitis: A chronic bladder condition causing bladder pressure, bladder pain, and sometimes pelvic pain.
