What Causes Pain In Perineal Area During Coughing?

when coughing hard or sneezing i get a cramp in the perineal area. I have had this for many years and it sometimes goes away for months and then comes back again. Any ideas if i should get it checked or if it's just one of those things you just live with?

while sneezing increases both intracranial as well as intrathoracic pressure.
this crampy pain will be due to the stretching of all the related organs mostly vaso vagal,wherin all these structures are interrelated
