Welcome to The Pelvic Pain Network
We are so excited to welcome you to The Pelvic Pain Network, your network of expert pelvic pain professionals.
The Pelvic Pain Network was established to support the needs of the 1 in 5 women, with persistent pelvic pain. Together, we’re on a mission to make pelvic pain healthcare more accessible.
What is pelvic pain?
Chronic or persistent pelvic pain is pain felt anywhere inside or outside the pelvis that lasts for more than 6 months. This includes any pain felt from your belly button to your buttocks.
The pain can be there all the time or “cyclical”, meaning it happens around your periods
Women living with pelvic pain may also experience bladder, bowel, or sexual problems.
These symptoms may have a significant impact on a woman’s wellbeing and quality of life.
Between a third to a half of keyhole surgery to investigate persistent pelvic pain finds no obvious cause for the pain.
Persistent pain is affected by physical, psychological, and social factors. To achieve the best results treatment should always consider the whole person.
Guidelines recommend that the best care for pelvic pain is achieved when healthcare professionals work together across medical specialties. This joined-up care is what we aim to provide you.
