About

You can casually tell a coworker you have a headache. You might mention to a friend that your stomach hurts. But who do you talk to when you’re dealing with pelvic pain? For many people, the answer is no one! Pelvic pain can be isolating and even traumatic. You can’t sit comfortably, you can’t sleep well, and you’re always tied to the closest bathroom. It’s not just the physical discomfort; it’s the silence around it. This psychical condition can also be wrapped with feelings of shame, embarrassment, and desperation. It’s a self-feeding cycle where pain is provoking anxiety and this anxiety is triggering more pain.
