MENSTRUATION PAINS THAT CAN KILL?
[ACUTE AND CHRONIC PELVIC PAINS]
I came to the office one morning to meet our female receptionist weeping on her desk with her hand guarding her pelvic region, before I could ask her any question, she had shouted out loud in pains and ran towards the toilet, she didn’t make it to the toilet before she threw up, then started crying and continue guarding her lower abdomen.
As a medical personnel, many things ran through my mind, like ruptured appendicitis or ectopic pregnancy, then I myself almost panicked when those life threatening thoughts crossed my mind, because that is serious thoughts, I persuaded her to take some pain killers and quickly go to a physician, she went , and after some days was relieved, but the next month the same thing happened and so on.
In this article we are not going to look at menstruation pains alone, but all forms of acute and chronic pelvic pains, the types, causes, diagnostic tests and treatment options.
Many women have pain in their pelvic region at some point in their lives. Finding the cause of pelvic pain can be a long process, often there is more than one reason for the pain and its exact source can be hard to detect.
Pelvic pain is a common symptom in women of all ages, in some cases no specific cause canbe found, but being reassured that there is no serious underlying problem can be helpful.
Pelvic pain can be described as acute or chronic .
Acute pain relates to pain that is of recent onset and maybe severe . In young women there are many possible causes for this.
Long standing or chronic pelvic pain may have different causative factors to acute pain, although there may be some degree of overlap.

TYPES OF PELVIC PAIN
Pelvic pain can vary in how it is felt, and when it occurs. It can come and go for brief times or it can be constant. Sometimes pelvic pain can reoccur on a regular cycle or schedule, it also may occur only at certain times, before or after eating, while you urinate, during sex or during menstrual period.
Some women feel pain almost everyday. This may mean that a problem has gotten worse. Overtime it may become more deficult to cope with the pain. When this occurs, a woman may feel pain, at some times more than others, even though the problem has not gotten worse.
Pelvic pain can disrupt a woman’s work, movements, sexual relations, sleeps, or family duties. Not knowing what the cause of the pain can make it even more stressful when pain has been present for a long time, it can affect a woman’s mental and physical health.
Pelvic pain that lasts for more than 6 months and does not improve with treatment is called chronic pelvic pain.
The type and nature of pelvic pain, whether it comes and goes or is constant, is sharp or dull, is in one place or a broad area, this will help your physician detect the cause of the problem
