Non-cancerous tumours in the uterus can cause pain in the pelvic floor.
1 of 5
Benign tumours in the pelvic floor muscles can be just as painful as malignant tumours. These are known as fibroids and need to be surgically removed from the body in order to get rid of the discomfort. As soon as you feel any pain in the pelvic region, you should visit a doctor who will be able to help you treat the condition. If left without any treatment, the pelvic pain may turn into something far worse.
Which of these are pelvic floor disorders?
2 of 5
One of the more common forms of pelvic floor disorder includes urinary incontinence. In such a condition, the patient is unable to control their bladder, which leads to unforeseen and involuntary urination during sleep or waking hours. Such incontinence may arise from psychological imbalance as well, which makes diagnosing pelvic floor disorder difficult.
Pain in the upper back region can be indicative of pelvic floor disorders.
3 of 5
While pain of any kind in the body must be taken seriously, the discomfort in the upper back region is generally not indicative of an issue in the pelvic floor muscles. However, if the sharp pain occurs in the lower back region, you may be suffering from such a condition. If this is the only symptom though, it may become difficult for you to get to the root of the disorder. At any rate, visit a doctor when you feel such a pain in your body.
What is the preferred form of treatment for pelvic floor disorders?

Obesity can be a contributing factor to a host of different health issues. Pelvic floor disorders are not exceptions to this convention. If you have recently gained a lot of weight or are obese, you are at a greater risk of suffering damage to your pelvic floor muscles. The only solution is to lose excess fat and try to maintain ideal body weight.
