Painful Pelvic Pain – What To Do & How To Treat It
Do you keep getting a sharp stabbing pain in your stomach or a dull ache? Suffering from lower belly pain is also known as pelvic pain.
Painful pelvic pain can be felt for all genders and can be caused by a variety of issues such as the reproductive system, pulled muscles, UTIs, digestive system, or other health issues like prostatitis in men which causes an inflamed pelvis.
Chronic pelvic pain can be highly uncomfortable, conditions such as endometriosis and fibroids can cause this sudden stabbing pain in the pelvic area for females.
We’ll explore below the symptoms of an inflamed pelvis and more about chronic pelvic pain syndrome as well as holistic solutions through physiotherapy to help manage your painful pelvic pain.
What Is Chronic Pelvic Pain Syndrome?
Chronic pelvic pain syndrome is a condition where this ongoing pelvic pain from the belly button down to the mid-thigh lasts over 6 months. CPPS is normally related to the nerves and muscles within the pelvis so can be hard to diagnose by professionals.
Some risk factors of having chronic pelvic pain syndrome are; if you’ve had pelvic floor muscle hypertonia, fibroids, chronic prostatitis, endometriosis, hip impingement, and hypermobility. ¹
CPPS is commonly treated with alpha-blockers, antibiotics, and other pain relief medication, however, physiotherapy can give great results too.
For example, men with chronic pelvic pain syndrome often have a condition called Chronic Prostatitis, at Anatomy Rehab, located in Dubai at both the Palm Jumeirah and DIFC we have a pelvic floor rehabilitation program designed for men suffering painful pelvic pain.
Exercises within our program will help reduce the painful symptoms of having an inflamed pelvis. Check out more about physiotherapy for men with pelvic pain here.

Painful pelvis pain isn’t the same type of pain for everyone, it can differ according to its position and how it feels, for example, some people have pelvic pain all over their stomach while others in the lower region.
Some people may experience a stabbing sensation while others have a dull persistent ache.
These are some common symptoms of an inflamed pelvis –
- Cramping and throbbing.

What Causes Sudden Stabbing Pain In Pelvic Area Females?
Painful pelvic pain for females is more common than men, due to the reproductive organs which can sometimes cause pain.
Sharp stabbing pain could be caused by a variety of factors, it could be menstrual pain or something as dangerous as an ectopic pregnancy. It’s important to figure out the cause of pelvic pain before beginning treatment since exercise could make it worse.

Frequently asked questions
Is pelvic pain always caused by pelvic floor muscles?
No. Pelvic pain can have several causes, including problems involving the bowel, bladder or reproductive organs. Do not assume physiotherapy is the right first treatment without assessment. Read NHS guidance on pelvic pain.
Can both men and women enquire about pelvic health support?
Yes. Anatomy Rehab has men’s and women’s health services. Explain that you are enquiring about pelvic symptoms so the team can discuss the appropriate clinician; this does not replace medical assessment of an unexplained cause.
What information is useful at a pelvic pain consultation?
Tell the clinician where the pain is, how long it has been present and whether it relates to movement, urination or other activities. Mention previous investigations or surgery and whether you are pregnant or could be pregnant.
When should pelvic pain be assessed urgently?
Seek emergency care for severe or worsening pelvic pain, fainting, difficulty breathing or heavy vaginal bleeding. Pelvic pain during a possible pregnancy, or with fever or difficulty passing urine, needs urgent medical advice. Do not wait for the clinic enquiry form. See NHS safety guidance.
Will insurance cover my assessment or treatment?
Cover depends on your policy and the service provided. Check eligibility and any referral requirements with your insurer before booking. The main FAQ explains that Anatomy Rehab can provide an invoice and insurance form after a session to support a claim; reimbursement is not guaranteed.
