Understanding and Managing Abdominal Pain: A Comprehensive Guide

“Abdominal pain is a common complaint that can range from mild discomfort to severe, debilitating pain. At Clear Passage Physical Therapy, we understand the impact that persistent abdominal pain can have on your quality of life. Our approach focuses on non-surgical and drug-free methods to address the root causes of abdominal pain caused by abdominal adhesions and provide lasting relief.”

What Causes Lower Abdominal Pain in Females Not Pregnant?

Lower abdominal pain in non-pregnant females can have various causes:

1. Surgical Adhesions – The Wurn Technique® addresses adhesions and scar tissue throughout the body, providing relief for various conditions including chronic pain, infertility, and bowel obstructions.
2. Menstrual Cramps – A non-surgical, drug-free treatment approach for menstrual pain, focusing on addressing adhesions and providing manual therapy techniques to alleviate symptoms and improve women’s reproductive health.
3. Ovulation Pain – Ovulation pain can be significantly reduced by our therapy, particularly for women with endometriosis, as their approach focuses on manually breaking down internal adhesions (scar tissue) that can attach to the ovaries and hinder ovulation, causing pain
4. Endometriosis – The Clear Passage Approach to treat endometriosis pain, has been shown in peer-reviewed studies to be as effective as surgical treatment in reducing menstrual and intercourse pain, while also improving overall sexual function.
5. Urinary Tract Infections – A urinary tract infection (UTI) essentially means that urine is clear and free of cloudiness, which is often a sign that a bacterial infection is not present; however, even clear urine cannot completely rule out a UTI, and a proper diagnosis usually requires a urine test to confirm the presence of bacteria.

It’s essential to consult with a healthcare professional to determine the exact cause and appropriate treatment.
