May is Pelvic Pain Awareness Month.
.
As pelvic floor physical therapists, a large percentage of patients who come to see us, are experiencing pelvic pain.
.
CPP can be caused by many things such as #vulvodynia, #vaginismus, #endometriosis, musculoskeletal problems, chronic pelvic inflammatory disease, scar tissue post-surgery, irritable bowel syndrome (#IBS), painful bladder syndrome (interstitial cystitis)
.
DID YOU KNOW:
.
1 in 7 women between the ages of 18 and 50 suffer from chronic pelvic pain. The lifetime incidence of CPP is as high as 33%. 😧
.
Pelvic floor physical therapy can help to relieve and even eliminate the pain caused by chronic pelvic pain.👍 https://goo.gl/HTJ2Zp
