Pubic Pain
Pubic pain is discomfort felt around the front of the pelvis and pubic bone. It can occur during pregnancy, after childbirth, during sport or as a result of changes in the way the muscles and joints around the pelvis are being loaded.
The symptoms can affect walking, turning in bed, stairs, exercise and other everyday movements. Because pain in this area can have several possible causes, a careful assessment can help identify the contributing factors.
Common Symptoms
Symptoms may include pain around the pubic bone or groin, discomfort when walking, climbing stairs, standing on one leg, turning in bed or moving the legs apart. The severity and pattern can vary significantly.
Possible Causes
Pubic pain can be associated with pregnancy-related changes, increased sporting loads or sensitivity within the joints and muscles around the pelvis and groin. There may be several contributing factors rather than one single cause.
How Physiotherapy Can Help
Physiotherapy can assess how your pelvis, hips and surrounding muscles are functioning and identify movements that are aggravating symptoms. Treatment can help improve strength and movement while finding practical ways to keep you active.
