The association of sexual abuse with pelvic pain complaints in a primary care population

Article Abstract:

Women experiencing pelvic pain may be more likely to have been sexually abused both during childhood and as adults. Researchers administered extensive questionnaires to 581 women visiting primary care medical offices. Sexual abuse during childhood was reported by 26% of women surveyed, and during adulthood by 28% of women surveyed. Pain during intercourse, irritable bowel syndrome, and other pelvic pain were more common among those who had reported sexual abuse both during childhood and adulthood. Women with pelvic pain should be questioned about sexual abuse when they are examined.
