Talk to your doctor if your pain persists. Constant pain or pressure, pain or discomfort when walking, pain when urinating, and increased pressure in your pelvic region can be warning signs of something more serious that just round ligament pain. Contact your doctor as soon as possible if you experience these symptoms.
Until the 1960s the Mediterranean was thought to be the main existing remnant of the Tethys Sea, which formerly girdled the Eastern Hemisphere. Studies employing the theory of seafloor spreading that have been undertaken since the late 20th century, however, have suggested that the present Mediterranean seafloor is not part of the older (200 million years) Tethys floor.
The Mediterranean Sea is a large sea that is located between Europe, northern Africa, and southwestern Asia. Its total area is 970,000 square miles (2,500,000 sq km) and its greatest depth is located off the coast of Greece at around 16,800 feet (5,121 m) deep. Due to the Mediterranean's large size and central location, it borders 21 different nations on three continents. The following is a list of the 21 nations with coastlines along the Mediterranean Sea. They are arranged alphabetically and separated by continent. Their land area, populations, and capital cities have also been included for reference.
