Total 110 cases were enrolled.55 cases whohad\nbeen suffering from chronic pelvic pain for 6 months (or more) were taken as study group-(A).55cases\nwithout any symptoms who underwent laparoscopic sterilization were taken as control group-(B).\nResults: 10.60% cases with chronic pelvic pain had normal findings whereas 25.25% cases were normal on\nlaparoscopy. Endometriosis was suspected in 7.27% cases on ultrasonography, where as it was confirmed\non laparoscopy in 18.1%.Similarly PID was suspected in 12.72% cases whereas it was confirmed on\nlaparoscopy in14.54% cases.\nConclusion: In our study we could conclude that the treatment of cases of chronic pelvic pain post diagnostic\nlaparoscopy are adhesiolysis, endometriotic cyst removal, Ovarian Cystectomy and Hydrosalpinx.","source_license":"CC0","license_restricted":false}
