Experiencing pain during menstruation is a common occurrence for many women. However, when that pain becomes sharp and localized in the pelvic area, it may be a sign of an underlying pelvic floor disorder.
Pelvic floor disorders can cause significant discomfort and affect a woman’s quality of life. In this article, we will explore the potential causes of sharp pelvic pain during periods and shed light on the connection to pelvic floor disorders.
The pelvic floor is a group of muscles, ligaments, and tissues supporting the pelvic organs, including the bladder, uterus, and rectum.
When the pelvic floor becomes weakened or dysfunctional, it can lead to various disorders, such as pelvic organ prolapse, urinary incontinence, and chronic pelvic pain.
For some women, the menstrual cycle can exacerbate symptoms of pelvic floor disorders, causing sharp pain in the pelvic area.
This pain may occur due to increased blood flow to the pelvic region, hormonal changes, or the mechanical pressure applied to the pelvic floor by the uterus during menstruation.
Pelvic floor disorders can arise from various factors and conditions. Some common causes may include:
Physical Therapy
Kegel exercises are among the most commonly recommended treatments for pelvic floor disorder. It involves contracting and relaxing the muscles of the pelvic floor to strengthen them over time, improving their function and reducing pain.
High-Intensity Electromagnetic Therapy
The Emsella™ chair – an FDA-approved innovative treatment to treat pelvic floor disorder. This specialized chair emits high-intensity focused electromagnetic (HIFEM) waves, inducing supramaximal contractions within the pelvic floor muscles: 1 session of Emsella = 12,000 kegel exercises.
It provides a non-invasive and efficient approach to strengthening the pelvic floor muscles, offering relief from pelvic floor disorder symptoms, in the comfort of simply sitting on the Emsella chair for 30 mins without the need to undress.
Medications
In certain instances, medications may be prescribed to manage specific symptoms associated with pelvic floor disorder, such as urinary incontinence or chronic pain.
By understanding these common causes and treatment options, women can gain insight into potential risk factors and take preventive measures to maintain pelvic floor health.
If you are experiencing symptoms of pelvic floor disorders, it is important to consult with a healthcare professional for a comprehensive evaluation.
