Pelvic pain is an umbrella term for pain in the tailbone, hips, buttock region, joints around the sacrum and pubic bone, but also embraces pain and discomfort in the vagina, vulva, perineum, uterus, ovaries, bladder, bowels and pelvic floor muscles.

Patients, mostly women, often have to search for years before getting the right help. Doctors seem to ignore the importance of the pelvic floor in the lower abdomen or do not believe women's pain symptoms.
