Symphysis pubis dysfunction (SPD) is a condition that causes excessive movement of the pubic symphysis, a joint connecting the left and right pubic bones at the front of the pelvis.
This condition can cause severe pain in the lower abdomen and groyne area, as well as difficulty walking, sitting, and other activities.
Symptoms may include pain that is worse during movement, difficulty walking, joint instability, and pain in the inner thighs. Treatment includes physical therapy, pain medications, and lifestyle changes.
