Since 1924 osteitis pubis has been known as a noninfectious inflammation of the pubis symphysis (also known as the pubic symphysis symphysis pubis or symphysis pubica) causing varying degrees of lower abdominal and pelvic pain. Osteitis pubis was first described in patients who had undergone suprapubic surgery and it remains a well-known complication of invasive procedures about the pelvis. It may also occur as an inflammatory process in athletes.
