Symptoms of Osteitis Pubis and How It Is Treated

Osteitis pubis is the non-infectious inflammation of the joint between your left and right pubic bones, called the pubic symphysis. This painful condition is often the result of a repetitive use injury in athletes who play football, ice hockey, or soccer. Osteitis pubis can also develop during pregnancy due to the weight-bearing stress placed on the pubic girdle.
