What are the signs and symptoms of the condition?

When a male complains of pelvic pain, the healthcare provider may ask:

  • when did the pain start
  • how long the pain has existed, or when it stopped
  • when and how often does the pain occur
  • what type of pain is it -- dull, sharp, steady, or crampy
  • where is the pain located
  • does anything lessen the pain or make it worse
  • are there any other symptoms, such as fever, fatigue, malaise, nausea, vomiting, changes in bowel movements, or trouble urinating
  • is the man sexually active, and does he use protection such as condoms
  • what medications, drugs, or herbs the man takes, if any
  • is there a history of any other medical problems or surgeries
  • Other questions may also be asked.
