Lower back pain which radiates to the pelvic region, accompanied by pelvic heaviness should be taken seriously and a medical examination is necessary.

A decreased appetite and unexplained weight loss could be indicative of ovarian cancer, so a woman needs to seek medical attention to uncover the cause.

When a woman has a frequent and strong urge to urinate and has trouble holding urine for short periods of time, it could be due to weakened pelvic floor muscles or a urinary tract infection.
