What is meant by **osteitis pubis** is a condition in which the right and left pubic bones at the bottom and front of the pelvis where they meet are inflamed. The pelvis is a set of bones that connect the legs to the upper body.
In addition to this pelvic bone, it supports some internal organs including the bladder, intestines and sexual organs. The pubic bone is one of the three bones that make up the pelvis.
The joint where the pubic bones meet is known as the pubic symphysis, which is made of cartilage...
When this part and the surrounding muscles become inflamed due to pressure on the joint, it causes sciatica pubis.. What is the treatment of sciatica pubis?. Steatitis pubis does not require surgery or prescription drugs.. The best way to treat this disease is rest.. The more you engage in activities that cause pain or increase inflammation, the longer the joint will take to heal.
In addition to rest, there are other treatment solutions that help relieve pain, to relieve pain, put an ice pack on the joint.... Do this solution for 20 minutes every three to four hours....
If the pain is severe, the doctor may recommend nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs such as ibuprofen or naproxen.... Acetaminophen also leads to pain relief...
But keep in mind that high doses may increase the risk of liver damage and other complications. In some cases, corticosteroid injections reduce inflammation and symptoms.
Symptoms of steatis pubis?.. The most important symptoms of this complication are pain in the groin area and lower abdomen.... You may also have pain or tenderness when applying pressure to the area in front of the pubic bone.. What is the cause of pubic steatosis?.. Steatis pubis affects athletes and other people who are physically active.. For example, football players, runners and hockey players are more at risk of this condition.
Repetition of such activities can put pressure on the pubic symphysis. In addition to activities such as running, jumping, skating, kicking and even sitting, it can put unhealthy pressure on the joint.
Steatitis pubis may also occur after childbirth.... Prolonged childbirth that leads to stretching of the pelvic muscles causes inflammation and eventually relief.... Surgery or damage to the pelvis may also lead to this disease.
