Why does it feel like my pelvic area is being tugged while on my period?
There are a number of reasons why you could be experiencing this sensation of your pelvic being tugged at. Please visit a doctor if you are at all concerned. One reason is: endometriosis, which often results in pain from cramping and often manifests itself as pelvic pain. Pain symptoms are different for each person and some might feel a tug, a dull ache, or stabbing pain in their pelvic area.
Pelvic pain is subjective, therefore might be related to a number of issues. Check in with your doctor to confirm what is causing the pain before you get caught up in one diagnosis. Pelvic organ prolapse or pelvic inflammatory disease are two common reasons. If you know that you have endometriosis, a condition in which uterine endometrial cells grow outside of the uterus, this could also be a reason for pelvic pain. It commonly results in frequent pain from cramping and can be particularly intense during menstrual periods or sexual intercourse. For some, it can be difficult to decipher whether their painful symptoms are due to normal period discomfort or if endometriosis symptoms are in play. Many people with endometriosis experience pain in their pelvic or belly area, starting right before their period. This pain can be resistant to pain medication and can impair functioning. Some menstruators report feeling as if their insides are being pulled down, a feeling of an intense tightening or burning pain, as well as dull ache, or sharp, stabbing pains.
