Your description is not specific enough to name one condition. Pain that radiates to the perineum plus pain at the outer thigh/iliotibial (IT) band and shoulder may reflect more than one issue. Pelvic pain can arise from gynecologic, urinary, bowel, pelvic-floor, nerve, or musculoskeletal causes, and multiple causes commonly coexist. The common chronic-pelvic-pain causes include endometriosis, pelvic adhesions, bladder pain syndrome, and irritable bowel syndrome. Textbook of Family Medicine 9e, p. 624.

Your CBC result

  • Haemoglobin 95 g/L (9.5 g/dL): low
  • Low hematocrit and low MCH, with MCV at the low end of normal
This is moderate anemia, often due to iron deficiency, especially with heavy periods, but blood loss from the gastrointestinal tract, dietary deficiency, malabsorption, and other causes also need consideration. Normal white cells and platelets are reassuring but do not rule out endometriosis, pelvic-floor problems, ovarian conditions, or infection.

What should be done

Arrange a prompt appointment with a GP or gynecologist, ideally within a few days, for:
  1. Pregnancy test if pregnancy is possible.
  2. Assessment of the pain pattern: sudden or gradual, one-sided, related to periods/sex/urination/bowel movements, back pain, numbness, and hip/thigh symptoms.
  3. Pelvic, abdominal, hip, lower-back, and neurologic examination. A combined pelvic and musculoskeletal assessment is recommended for chronic pelvic pain, per ACOG guidance.
  4. Tests usually include ferritin and iron studies, repeat CBC, and targeted urine/STI tests if indicated. Pelvic ultrasound may be needed depending on the examination and symptoms.
  5. Review menstrual bleeding. Heavy or prolonged periods can both cause iron-deficiency anemia and be associated with conditions such as fibroids or adenomyosis.

Treatment and prognosis

Treatment depends entirely on the cause:
  • Iron-deficiency anemia: oral iron is commonly used, along with finding and treating the source of blood loss. Hemoglobin usually improves over weeks if the cause is addressed, but iron stores take longer to replenish.
  • IT-band or hip-related pain: activity modification and physiotherapy focused on hip/gluteal strength and movement mechanics are usually first-line. IT-band syndrome typically causes outer knee or lateral thigh pain and is generally treatable conservatively.
  • Pelvic-floor muscle pain or nerve-related pain: pelvic-floor physiotherapy, targeted pain management, and sometimes specialist referral can help.
  • Endometriosis, ovarian pathology, urinary or bowel causes: treatment may involve hormonal therapy, medication, or selected procedures after proper diagnosis.
The prognosis is often good once the cause or combination of causes is identified. Chronic pelvic pain can take time to improve and may need a combined gynecology, physiotherapy, and pain-management approach.

Seek emergency care today if any of these apply

  • Possible pregnancy plus pelvic pain, vaginal bleeding, dizziness/fainting, or shoulder-tip pain
  • Sudden severe one-sided pelvic pain, vomiting, or fever
  • Very heavy vaginal bleeding, chest pain, shortness of breath at rest, fainting, or rapidly worsening weakness
  • New leg weakness, numbness around the groin/perineum, loss of bladder/bowel control, or inability to pass urine
Please clarify what you mean by “radiating perineum and IT band shoulder”: where exactly does the pain start and spread, how long has it been present, and are periods heavy or painful?
