Signs That You May Need Pelvis Surgery

It is important to know the signs that may indicate a need for surgery to your pelvis. This way, should you experience any of these, you will know that it is time to schedule a consultation with a surgeon. To help you spot these signs, you will want to take a few moments to review the following points.

Problems Controlling Your Bladder

Having a bladder-control issue can be troublesome for many people, especially when it can be hard to make it to the bathroom in time. You might simply be dealing with an overactive bladder that is causing you to feel as though you always have to go to the bathroom. Then again, you could be dealing with trouble controlling your bladder to the point that you are experiencing incontinence, which is were you leak urine before you are able to make it to the bathroom. Either way, having such troubles should be a clear sign that you will need to have something medically done about the issue. You will want to speak with a surgeon to see whether there is something that can be done.

Pain During Sexual Intercourse

Sexual intercourse should not cause you a lot of pain or discomfort. If it does, there could be something wrong in your pelvis region that will need to be surgically addressed. There could be a variety of things going wrong, some of which may need medication, physical therapy, or surgery in order to be corrected. You will not know the exact cause of your problem or the extent of its severity until you are seen by a specialist and possibly a surgeon.

Extreme Pressure in Lower Back or Pelvis Region That Goes Away When You Lay Down

If you are having a lot of pain in your pelvis region or in your lower back that only seems to go away when you lay flat on your back, then there is a good chance that you are dealing with a problem that can be surgically corrected. You can start by checking with a chiropractor to see whether there is something in your lower back that simply needs to be adjusted. If that is not the case, then you will want to take the next step, which is consulting a surgeon.

With those three things in mind, you should have a much easier time deciding whether it is time to consult with a surgeon, such as one from Western Branch Center for Women, to see about a possible surgery to correct any problems that you may be experiencing.
