Pelvic pain is a common complaint among women.
Its nature and intensity may fluctuate, and its cause is often obscure. In some cases, no disease is shown to be evident. Pelvic pain may originate in genital or extragenital organs, or it may be psychogenic. Localized pain may be due to an inflammation. Colicky pain may be caused by spasm in a soft organ, such as the intestine, ureter, or appendix.
