Yes, PCOS can cause pelvic pain. This pain can be due to several factors, including:
- Enlarged ovaries: PCOS can cause the ovaries to become enlarged and filled with cysts, which can lead to pelvic pain.
- Endometriosis: Women with PCOS are at a higher risk of developing endometriosis, a condition where tissue similar to the lining of the uterus grows outside of the uterus. Endometriosis can cause pelvic pain.
- Pelvic adhesions: PCOS can lead to the formation of scar tissue (adhesions) in the pelvis, which can cause pain.
