Chronic pelvic pain
Reavey J., Vincent K.
Chronic pelvic pain is a major public health problem that impacts all areas of a woman's life. The diagnosis is frequently difficult and delayed with women often presenting to a variety of specialties and undergoing multiple investigations before a diagnosis is reached. Aetiology is frequently multifactorial with both precipitating and perpetuating factors. Optimal management is within a multidisciplinary team who can fully address the range of factors that may maintain pelvic pain.
