I sometimes have pelvic pain (in genitals, perineum, pubic or bladder area, or pain with urination) that exceeds a ‘3’ on a 1-10 pain scale, with 10 being the worst pain imaginable.

I can remember falling onto my tailbone, lower back, or buttocks (even in childhood).

I have experienced one or more of the following symptoms: accidental loss of urine, feeling unable to completely empty my bladder, having to void within a few minutes of a previous void, pain or burning with urination, frequent stop/start of urine stream.

I often or occasionally have to get up to urinate two or more times at night.

I sometimes have a feeling of increased pelvic pressure or the sensation of my pelvic organs slipping down or falling out.

I have a history of pain in my low back, hip, groin, or tailbone or have had sciatica.

I sometimes experience one or more of the following bowel symptoms: loss of bowel control, feeling unable to completely empty my bowels, straining or pain with a bowel movement, difficulty initiating a bowel movement.

I sometimes experience pain or discomfort with sexual activity or intercourse.

Sexual activity increases one or more of my other symptoms.

Prolonged sitting increases my symptoms.
