Pelvic pain can be an indication that there may be a problem with one of the reproductive organs in the pelvic area (uterus, ovaries, fallopian tubes, cervix, or vagina).
A multitude of conditions can cause chronic pelvic pain. Let’s look at a few of them.

Symptoms you may have:

Symptoms of Adenomyosis:

Pelvic Inflammatory Disease
