Perineal Pain

Perineal pain refers to discomfort, aching, or sensitivity in the area between the vagina and anus (in females). This pain can range from a dull ache to sharp, burning sensations and may worsen with sitting, intercourse, bowel movements, or prolonged standing. Some individuals also experience pelvic floor muscle tightness, nerve irritation, or a constant feeling of pressure in the perineal region.

Common causes of perineal pain include pelvic floor dysfunction, childbirth trauma, nerve compression, surgery, chronic constipation, prolonged sitting, and increased pelvic muscle tension due to stress. While this condition can be frustrating and disruptive, pelvic floor physical therapy is a highly effective, non-invasive approach to relieving pain, improving mobility, and restoring normal function.
