Pelvic floor is like any muscle and can be controlled. Pelvic pain or altered sensations in the labia, vulva, pelvic floor area, low abdomen, bladder or groin may have a musculoskeletal cause or be related to neuropathic pain syndromes like Pudendal Neuropathy. Buttock pain may be related to hip-lumbar-pelvic dysfunction.
Pelvic girdle pain (PGP) refers to pain felt either at the back of the pelvis, on one or both sides, and/or pain over the pubic joint. Pain is generally located between the top of the pelvis and the bottom of the buttocks. Pain may be referred into the buttock and/or down the leg, so it’s often confused with sciatica.
PGP involving the pubic symphysis joint can also refer pain to the groin, inner thigh, lower abdomen, and vaginal area.
