Acute pelvic pain is pain that starts over a short period of time anywhere from a few minutes to a few days. This type of pain is often a warning sign that something is wrong and should be evaluated promptly. Pelvic pain can have numerous casuses. Pelvic pain can be caused by an infection or inflammation. An infection doesn't have to affect the reproductive organs to cause pelvic pain. For example pain can be caused by the bladder, bowel, or appendix and can produce pain in the pelvic region. The take home message is that any pelvic pain should be investigated to locate the source.
