What are Female Pelvic Problems?

Female pelvic problems refer to various conditions that affect the organs in the pelvic cavity of a female, such as the uterus, fallopian tubes, ovaries and bladder.

These problems can be linked to a variety of different factors including ageing, childbirth, injuries and underlying medical conditions.

Female pelvic problems can give rise to symptoms that can impact the quality of your life. While many women are embarrassed to talk about these problems, it is important to discuss them with a specialist and seek timely care for their effective management.

Just because female pelvic problems are common, it does not mean they are normal. Get the finest personalized solutions from our experts at Surya Hospital.

Types of Female Pelvic Problems

Female Pelvic Problems can be of several different types, based on the types of symptoms and the organs involved. The most common of these include:

Urinary incontinence: Urinary incontinence is the unintentional spilling of urine. It might happen as a result of weak pelvic floor muscles, hormonal changes, pregnancy and childbirth, menopause, obesity, or certain medical problems. Urinary incontinence in women can be classified as stress incontinence, urge incontinence, or mixed incontinence.
Pelvic organ prolapse: This condition develops when the pelvic organs, the bladder, uterus, and rectum all descend and bulge into the vagina. It can be caused by weakening of the pelvic floor muscles and ligaments which has been linked with various factors like childbirth, menopause, obesity, persistent coughing, or hard lifting.
Overactive bladder: OAB is marked by a sudden, uncontrollable urge to urinate. Women suffering from the condition may also experience related problems like frequent urination, nocturia and incontinence. The problem is often linked to abdominal trauma, nerve damage and underlying infection
Chronic pelvic pain: Chronic pelvic pain is defined as pain in the pelvic region that lasts six months or longer. In the majority of cases, it is the sign of an underlying medical condition like endometriosis, pelvic inflammatory disease (PID), fibroids, pelvic floor muscle dysfunction, and bladder problems.
Vaginal fistula: It refers to an abnormal opening that connects the vagina to the organs and structures surrounding it, such as the bladder (vesicovaginal fistula), ureters (ureterovaginal fistula), urethra (urethrovaginal fistula), rectum (rectovaginal fistula) and colon (colo-vaginal fistula)
Sexual dysfunction: The condition is marked by difficulty in achieving orgasm or deriving sexual pleasure. It is a complex problem that can affect women of any age group. It can be caused by varied factors like stress, trauma, diabetes, excessive alcohol intake, and use of certain medicines.

When should you consider seeing our experts?

Although not all pelvic floor problems are a cause of concern, in some cases these can progress giving rise to serious complications. Hence it is important to watch out for the symptoms and go for proper medical evaluation.

Common symptoms associated with female pelvic problems include:

Urine leakage when coughing, sneezing, laughing, or physical activity (stress incontinence).
Urge incontinence is the inability to manage sudden, overwhelming desires to urinate.
Pelvic pressure or the feeling that something is protruding from the vagina (pelvic organ prolapse).
Pelvic pain or discomfort that persists.
Urine pain or recurrent urinary tract infections (UTIs).
Dyspareunia (painful intercourse).

What causes Female Pelvic Problems?

There are various factors that can be responsible for causing pelvic floor problems in females, such as:

Childbirth and Pregnancy: Pregnancy and vaginal childbirth can cause pelvic floor muscle weakness, which can lead to pelvic organ prolapse and urine incontinence.
Menopause: Hormonal changes during menopause can cause vaginal dryness, tissue thinning, and weakened pelvic floor muscles, all of which increase the risk of pelvic issues.
Ageing: As women become older, their pelvic tissues and muscles naturally deteriorate, making them more prone to pelvic organ prolapse and urine incontinence.
Obesity: Being overweight or obese can put additional strain on the pelvic organs, contributing to pelvic floor dysfunction and urine incontinence.
Underlying medical conditions: Diabetes, chronic coughing, and constipation are among conditions that can strain the pelvic floor muscles and exacerbate pelvic difficulties.
