Pelvic pain is a complex issue that affects approximately 1 in 5 women across various stages of life. Pelvic pain can be associated with a range of symptoms including bloating, bowel and bladder troubles, muscle spasms, painful sex, fatigue, anxiety and low mood. Common forms of pelvic pain include period pain and irritable bowel, while endometriosis is a possible contributor to pelvic pain. Whether you are experiencing discomfort in your daily activities, during intimacy, or simply going about your routine, it’s important to acknowledge that you are not alone in this journey. The first step toward relief is recognizing that pelvic pain is a shared experience among many women and that there is help available.
Breaking the Silence on Sexual Pain
One aspect of pelvic pain that often goes unspoken is sexual pain. As many as 75% of women will experience pain during sex at some point, according to the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists. It’s crucial to understand that experiencing pain during intercourse is not normal and should not be ignored. If you find yourself dealing with sexual pain, don’t let shame or embarrassment hold you back from seeking help. I, Jade Lucas, specialize in addressing these intimate concerns with empathy and expertise.
