Pelvic pain can happen in both women and men, it might be caused by infections, abnormalities in internal
organs, or pain from the pelvic bones. In women, pelvic pain can be a sign that she has a problem with her
reproductive organs. This type of pain can vary and it may be sudden and severe or it could last for 6 months
∙Pelvic organ prolapse happens when one or more pelvic organs, the vagina, uterus, bladder, urethra, small
intestine, and rectum, drop from their normal position. This is often caused by the weakening of the pelvic
floor, sometimes due to labor and vaginal birth or due to old age. Other risk factors include connective tissue
disorder, obesity, and frequent constipation. When a pelvic organ drops, it often bulges out of the vagina.

These conditions are thought to be just a man’s problem. However, these conditions can affect women as much as
men, and you need to be aware of it if ever it happens to you or another woman in your life.
