Pelvic and rectal pain questions.

Start with the reason you are looking

Pain in the pelvic or rectal area can have different causes and should not be self-diagnosed from a web page. We provide general information and a route to ask what the next step may be.

A qualified health professional confirms what assessment is appropriate. Seek urgent medical care for severe, sudden or worrying symptoms rather than using a website enquiry form.

Useful details to include

Keep the first enquiry short and general. These prompts can help us understand what you are hoping to discuss:

• The broad concern you want to discuss
• Whether the issue is new, recurring or changing
• Any question you would prefer to discuss privately
