By Luke Walton


A few of the organs that are located in this region include the muscles and skins covering the left side of the abdominal wall, the lower end of the left kidney, nerves on the left abdomen, the left ureter, part of large blood vessels like the aorta and its branches, part of the descending large bowel, the left ovary and tube, the sigmoid colon, and part of the urinary bladder.Nonetheless, pelvic pain among women is still a very mysterious condition among experts today and sometimes they cannot find out its root cause. Here are several of the most common causes of pelvic pain among women and the symptoms come with them.Lower left pelvic pain is a symptom of a disease that is more frequently felt by the elderly and women. The lower left pelvic region has a lot of body organs that is possibly the culprit of the pain.

Trapped wind is a condition wherein there is an instance of excess wind in the stomach or the large bowel. These conditions include primary dysmenorrhea, cervical stenosis, vulvodynia, pelvic infection, endemetriosis, pelvic congestion syndrome, pelvic joint instability, uterine fibroids, and adenomyosis.

Another possible cause of lower left pelvic pain is ovarian cyst. Vullvodinia meanwhile is characterized by pain experienced in the vulva that persists up to three mnoths.In endemetriosis, the lining of the uterus grows outside of the uterus, causing great pelvic pain during menstruation or sex.Another one of the causes of pelvic pain among women is scar tissue that is formed in the pelvic area. This may be a result of pelvic infection or after a pelvic surgery.

Its main symptom is a sudden pain that may shift to the thighs as well. A few people may confuse it with appendicitis but the pain in this condition is more sudden, so intense that the person is rolling in agony, it is not accompanies with fever, and it does not affect the appetite.For instance, irritable bowel syndrome, a chronic condition, includes pelvic pain as one of its symptoms. Another example is interstitial cystitis which is a chronic bladder condition that is characterized by an inflamed or irritated bladder wall. Bothe of these conditions have mysterious causes and that is why a lot of doctors find it difficult to treat this kind of pelvic pain.

One of the odd causes of pelvic pain among women is sexual or physical abuse. Researches have found out that about half of women with chronic pelvic pain have a history of sexual or physical abuse. While it is currently unclear why this happens, it seems that psychological trauma has a huge role in this.Moreover, even after patients get treatment for the underlying cause of the pelvic pain, there are still instances when the affected nerves keep on sending pain signals. This condition is called neuropathic pain and it is also one of the main reasons why pelvic pain is so hard to treat.
