I have pain in the pelvis for a few months. Is it pelvic inflammatory disease?

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I have read your post thoroughly, and I understand that you need a sense of direction in terms of the origin of the pathology. Now, it could be a number of things. The fact that it started with you starting to lift weights puts us in the direction of both a hernia and a pulled muscle. Having said that, the cramps cannot be because of a pulled muscle. If it were to be something to do with your colon, it would account for the crampy nature of the pain. Also, since it is getting worse, it could be something along the lines of colonic inflammation. Diverticulitis in existing diverticulosis is a likely possibility. But I need to know if the pain has any relation to meal intake, like, does it get worse after one? Also, is your bowel movement normal?

It could be gynecological as well, but do you have any other symptoms that would suggest that? Also, it is very, very important to know if your periods are regular and is there any possibility of a pregnancy. Sometimes ectopic pregnancy also presents this way. It cannot be pelvic inflammatory disease though, but an ovarian cyst is also a probability. Please let me know the details so that we can narrow down the list of possibilities and reach a diagnosis.

Thank you.
