If your pelvic pain persists for over 6 months, it is considered to be chronic and requires a medical examination. Statistically one out of 6 women experiences long-lasting pelvic pain.  

Chronic pelvic pain can result from more than one condition and is usually more intense than period pain.  

Some of the most common causes of chronic pelvic pain include:  

• Endometriosis - the growth of uterine lining outside of the uterus on the ovaries, fallopian tubes or rectum.

• Chronic (PID) pelvic inflammatory disease – a bacterial infection of the female reproductive system that is caused by STIs  

• Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) accompanied by bloating, constipation, stomach cramps, or diarrhea

As you see, taking a pill won’t be enough if you suffer from long-term pelvic pain, so we recommend that you visit your doctor.
