A common reason for your pubic symphysis hurting is Symphysis pubis dysfunction also known as osteitis pubis which causes pain and swelling in your groin or lower abdomen.

Moving your legs apart such as when you get in and out of a car or bed can also cause the pubic symphysis pain to flare up.

Or even going up and down stairs, moving too much or moving too little and even sitting in one place too long can cause pubic symphysis pain.

Osteitis pubis or inflammation of the joint between your pubic bones is the most common reason for your pubic bone to feel bruised.

Osteitis pubis is most often caused by repetitive stress on your pelvis and hips.

Arthritis in the pubic bone will feel like a feeling of tightness or pressure above your pelvis and also cause swelling and pain in or near your genitals.

Other signs and symptoms of arthritis in your pubic bone are pain in your hip, groin, buttocks or thighs which can worsen with activity or movement and the pain can be worse in the morning or after resting.

You may also have stiffness in your hip which makes it difficult to move or rotate your leg.

With arthritis in your pubic bone you can also have grinding, sticking or locking as well as weakness in your buttock muscles.

Pubic bone pain is located in your groin or lower abdomen.

Pubic bone pain is often caused by inflammation in the joint between the left and the right pubic bones and can cause pain and even swelling in the lower abdomen or groin.

Repetitively using your hips, groin and pelvis can also lead to osteitis pubis.

The most common reason for pubic bone pain is inflammation of the osteitis pubis which is inflammation of the joint that connects the pelvic bone.

Other causes of pubic bone pain and pubic area pain include Vulval irritation, Vulvodynia, Inguinal hernia, Osteitis pubis, constipation, irritable bowel syndrome, urinary tract infections, sexually transmitted infections, Fibromyalgia or chronic myofascial pain, neuropathic pain, pelvic congestion syndrome, childbirth, pelvic floor problems, menopause, injury or other infection.

Most cases of pubic area pain go away on their own within a few days or so but if not you should see a doctor.

When your pubic area hurts to touch you could also have inflammation of the joint that connects the pelvic bone called osteitis pubis.

Symptoms of osteitis pubis are pain in the center of your pelvis, limping and pain when climbing stairs, running or walking.

Osteitis pubis is usually caused by repeated stress on your pubic symphysis joint, which can occur from activities like playing sports which involve kicking, pivoting or shifting directions or any other activity that could put stress on the pelvic area or pelvic or pubic bone.

Even pregnancy and surgery can cause osteitis pubis.

Inflammation of the pubic bone can be caused by repetitive stress on the pubic symphysis or overuse of the muscles around the pubic symphysis.

The pubic symphysis is the joint which connects the two main bones of your pelvis.

The most common cause of inflammation of the pubic bone is repeated strain on the pubic symphysis during sports such as tennis, ice hockey, football, soccer, running etc.

Pregnancy can also cause inflammation of the pubic bone and some women develop it after their pregnancy.

The signs and symptoms of a pubic bone being out of place include pain such as a dull ache in the front of your pelvis or a sharp pain which shoots from the front or back.

you may also have a feeling of looseness or instability in the pelvis and may have a grinding or clicking sound when moving your pelvis or a burning, tingling or stabbing pain.

Other signs and symptoms of a pubic bone being out of place are radiating pain that spreads throughout your lower abdomen, groin, thigh, back or perineum as well as fatigue, difficulty using the toilet or even an aching feeling in your groin when you sit, stand, run or kick.

A misaligned pelvis or out of place pubic bone can also cause lower back pain, especially after standing or walking, pain that radiates to your buttocks or hips, pain in your neck, shoulders, teeth or head, tight hamstrings or hip flexors, a protruding stomach and headaches or digestive issues.

You can damage your pubic bone and break one or more pubic bones.

Some ways you can damage or break your pubic bones are through car accidents, falling from a great height or injuries sustained in athletic sports like soccer.

A mild fracture to the pubic bone may heal in several weeks although serious pubic bone fractures can be life threatening and can involve damage to the organs that the pelvis protects.

The area over the pubic bone is called the suprapubic region and your pubic bone is the lower limit of the suprapubic region.

Your mons pubis is a rounded mass of fatty tissue which sits on top of your pubic bones and is also known as the pubic mound or mons Venus.

The mons pubis cushions your pubic bones during sex and also releases pheromones which can attract sexual partners and is part of your external genitalia in those assigned female at birth.

The organ that is directly behind the pubic bone is the bladder.

Your bladder is located in the front of your pelvis and behind the pubic symphysis.

Your pelvis is a basin shaped structure which contains your urinary bladder, rectum and also part of your descending colon.

In a female the pelvis also contains the ovaries, fallopian tubes and the uterus.

The pelvis is also located below your abdominal cavity and connects the trunk and legs.

And your pelvic floor muscles which include your levator ani, wrap around your pelvis.

Your pubic bones are the most forward facing bones of your pelvis and also includes the ilium and ischium.

There are two pubic bones and they are joined by cartilage at the pubic symphysis in the front of the pelvis.

The pubic bones are the two bones which form the front of your pelvis and are part of your hip bone.

Your pubic bones are the most forward facing bones of your hip bone and are made up of 3 bones which are the pubis bone, ilium bone and the ischium bone.

Each of the pubic bones are made up of 3 parts which are the body, the superior ramus and the inferior ramus.

Your pubic bones also meet in the front to form the pubic symphysis.

The superior ramus helps to form the acetabulum and is ridged by an upper pectineal line and a lower obturator crest.

Your inferior ramus of your pubis fuses with your inferior ramus of the ischium.

The pubic bone is one of the three main bones that make up the pelvis, a structure located between the abdomen and thighs.

The human pelvis is a bony ring formed by two bilateral innominate bones, made from the ilium, ischium, and pubis, and the sacrum.

The innominates articulate with each other anteriorly at the pubic symphysis and posteriorly with the sacrum at the sacroiliac joints.

The organs that are located just above your pelvic bone include the reproductive organs, urinary bladder, distal ureters, proximal urethra, terminal sigmoid colon, rectum, and anal canal.

The bones of your pelvis are located within the pelvic cavity.

The groin is the area in the body where the upper thighs meet the lowest part of the abdomen.

Normally, the abdomen and groin are kept separate by a wall of muscle and tissue.

The only openings in the wall are small tunnels called the inguinal and femoral canals.
