szimfízisdiszfunkciónak

Symphysis dysfunction, often referred to by its Hungarian term "szimfízisdiszfunkció," is a condition characterized by pain and instability in the pubic symphysis joint. This joint is located at the front of the pelvis where the two pubic bones meet. Normally, the pubic symphysis is a stable joint with very limited movement. However, various factors can lead to excessive stretching or irritation of the ligaments that hold it together, resulting in dysfunction.

Common causes of symphysis dysfunction include hormonal changes, particularly during pregnancy and childbirth due to the release of relaxin, a hormone that loosens pelvic ligaments to facilitate delivery. Trauma, such as falls or direct impact to the pelvic area, can also injure the joint. Overuse injuries, common in athletes, and inflammatory conditions like arthritis can also contribute to this condition.

Symptoms typically include pain in the pubic bone area, which can radiate to the hips, groin, and inner thighs. The pain may worsen with activities like walking, climbing stairs, standing on one leg, or during sexual intercourse. Instability in the pelvis, a clicking or grinding sensation, and difficulty with movement are also reported. Diagnosis usually involves a physical examination, assessment of pain and range of motion, and sometimes imaging techniques like ultrasound or MRI to evaluate the joint and surrounding structures. Treatment focuses on pain relief, improving stability, and restoring function, and may include rest, physical therapy, medication, and in severe cases, surgical intervention.
