Common Causes of Pelvic Disease

Pelvic diseases can arise from various factors, including:

• Infections: Such as sexually transmitted infections (STIs), pelvic inflammatory disease (PID), and urinary tract infections (UTIs).
• Chronic conditions: Including endometriosis, fibroids, and irritable bowel syndrome (IBS).
• Musculoskeletal issues: Conditions affecting the pelvic floor muscles and ligaments.
• Cancers: Pelvic cancers such as ovarian, cervical, prostate, and colorectal cancer.

Symptoms of Pelvic Disease

The symptoms of pelvic disease can vary widely depending on the underlying condition but may include:

• Pelvic pain or discomfort
• Abnormal bleeding or discharge
• Urinary or bowel changes
• Pain during intercourse
• Lower back pain
• Swelling or pressure in the pelvic region

The Role of Ultrasound in Diagnosis and Treatment

Ultrasound imaging plays a pivotal role in diagnosing pelvic diseases. It provides a non-invasive, real-time view of the pelvic organs and structures, helping to identify abnormalities such as cysts, fibroids, and tumors. Ultrasound can also be used to monitor the progress of treatment for certain conditions.
