Detailed explanation-1: -Osteitis pubis (OP) is a non-infectious, chronic inflammatory state of the pubic symphysis and surrounding soft tissues with multiple etiologies, resulting in groin or lower abdominal pain.

Detailed explanation-2: -The symptoms of osteitis pubis include pain in front of the pelvis, which may radiate to the groin, lower abdomen or inner thighs. Pain is usually one-sided and may increase with activities such as kicking, running, pivoting on one leg, climbing stairs, lying on one side and coughing.

Detailed explanation-3: -The cartilage in this joint can wear down over time (osteoarthritis), so that it’s less able to support your pelvic bones. Infections and inflammatory conditions (osteitis pubis) can harm the joint.

Detailed explanation-4: -Some women may develop pelvic pain in pregnancy. This is sometimes called pregnancy-related pelvic girdle pain (PGP) or symphysis pubis dysfunction (SPD). PGP is a collection of uncomfortable symptoms caused by a stiffness of your pelvic joints or the joints moving unevenly at either the back or front of your pelvis.
