Publisher's Synopsis
The term "pelvic pain" usually refers to any complaint that occurs between the abdomen and the thighs. However, precise localization is frequently difficult, which is why hip or abdominal pain is frequently mentioned. While the latter are associated with organs located in the pelvic area (stomach, intestines, pancreas, etc.), pelvic problems are usually caused by the bony pelvic girdle. Injuries such as bruises or a broken pelvis are common causes, but so are poor posture, osteoporosis, and a pelvic tilt, which, in addition to the typical pelvic and back pain, It can also result in neck and head pain, for example. Due to the sometimes difficult localization, a doctor should always be consulted in the case of pelvic pain as a precautionary measure in order to clarify the cause and rule out serious illnesses.
