I have unexplained pelvic pain and my doctor has suggestedd a hysterectomy to relieve the pain. Some of the pain is bladder related. I've had a laproscopy surgery but nothing was found. What else could it be?
There are many non-gynelogical problems that could cause pelvic pain.- addiction or substance abuse problem
- anxiety
- arthritis
- chronic appendicitis
- chronic interstitial cystitis (chronic bladder infection)
- depression
- lumbar disk disease
- diverticulitis (intestinal inflammation)
- fibromyalgia
- hernia
- inflammatory bowel disease
- irritable bowel syndrome
- physical or sexual abuse
- scoliosis and posture related problems
Its important to explore the cause of your pelvic pain so that you don't have an unnecessary hysterectomy.
One cause of pelvic pain could be Intersitial cystitis.
Interstitial cystitis is a chronic, and often severe, inflammation of the bladder wall, the cause of which is unknown. Primary symptoms are urinary frequency, urgency, and, for some, severe lower abdominal or perineal pain. However, IC patients rarely test positive for infection in standard urinalysis and urine cultures.
In some cases, women wiith pelvic pain that is unexplained, a doctor may recommend a hysterectomy assuming her pain is gynecological when in fact her pain may be from undiagnosed Interstitial Cystitis.
