If you are aware of pelvic floor therapy, then you may have recently experienced childbirth. Or you may have been experiencing chronic pelvic or lower back pain, and you are seeking alternative treatments for your pain. Don’t worry. Pelvic floor therapy isn’t limited to treating pelvic and back pain.

Emma has had pelvic cramps on and off for seven months. At first, it did not cause any alarm because most of the time, the pain is manageable. She always thought that the pain would eventually disappear because it is common for women to experience pain in their pelvic region during the menstrual cycle.

But as time went on, the cramps became more severe and lasted longer. The dull ache that she experienced even got worse during her period, and her urge to urinate increased. She also noticed large and bulging veins in the near pelvic region. 

The pelvic region is one of the most sensitive areas of the body. For this reason, it is one of the worst places to be experiencing pain, and even more so when you are not sure why it is happening.

If symptoms progress then further action can be taken with the recommendation of your physician. 

There are many reasons you might experience groin pain. Usually, groin pain is related to an injury relating to overuse or straining. However, other things can cause groin pain in women.

Some of the more serious causes of female groin pain include appendicitis, ovarian cysts, or even cancer. These are very rare, however. It’s more likely that overuse leading to an injury is causing your groin pain. It may also be caused by something benign like kidney stones or a UTI.

1. Elevation – Gravity is not our friend when it comes to leg swelling. If you sit or stand with your legs in a dependent position, then there is a chance your legs will swell. Therefore, you can minimize swelling by elevating the legs. Elevation helps by using gravity to your advantage allowing fluid and blood to return to your heart more effectively.
