What are the more common non-gynaecological causes of pelvic pain?

Constipation is probably the commonest cause of pelvic pain. Many patients have irritable bowel syndrome - IBS (Q 23.34). Typically there is a story of intermittent diarrhoea and constipation.

Infection in the urinary tract (e.g. cystitis) is another common cause of lower abdominal and pelvic pain. If a "mid-stream urine" sample shows evidence of infection, the problem should respond to an appropriate antibiotic.

The musculo-skeletal system (the bones, muscles, tendons and joints) may be the source of pain in the pelvic area.
