Symptoms of Pelvic Swelling:
These symptoms have been constant for at least 2-3 months. It is as though something is swollen or enlarged in the pelvic area and putting pressure on the bladder and colon.
These are my symptoms:
1- Swollen pelvis- right above pelvic bone/ no pains, just tender and sore, seems to be most tender in center.
2- Urine incontenance/ stream seems to be forceful and narrow.
3- Bladder spasms/ occassionaly
4- Constipation/ bowel movements are flat with no history of constipation before.
5- NO abnormal bleeding, or presents of blood in BM.
Reasons of Pelvic Swelling
Unfortunately, some of the qualities that make a woman's uterus such an ideal breeding chamber for a growing fetus—warmth and moisture—also make it an ideal breeding ground for bacteria. And bacterial infections in the uterus can cause considerable pelvic pain.
Urinary tract infections (UTIs) can also cause pelvic pain in both men and women. Women are much more likely to suffer from UTIs, Another major cause of pelvic pain is pelvic inflammatory disease (PID)—an inflammation of the fallopian tubes. Sexually transmitted disease is the most likely cause of PID, but other types of infection may also be to blame.
In some cases, your doctor may be able to pinpoint the cause of the pain as soon as you describe its nature and location. If PID is your problem, for example, you'll hurt on both sides of the pelvis. On the other hand, pain from a ruptured ovarian cyst comes on suddenly, more on one side than the other.
Endometriosis—a growth of the uterine lining outside of the uterus—causes chronic pelvic pain, painful periods and painful intercourse. Ectopic or tubal pregnancy also causes pelvic pain.
In any event keep in close contact with your Doctor, having pelvic pain is NOT Normal and a treatment for the continued pain needs to be addressed immediately.
