Abstract

Chronic pelvic pain is a common, multifactorial complaint that affects both women and men, causing disability and frustration for patients. The exact aetiology remains unknown, although several theories have been proposed. Assessment should be undertaken with care and compassion, while considering the sensitive nature of the area. Management involves ruling out treatable pathology concomitant with strategies to control pain. Novel treatment approaches have been investigated for specific clinical scenarios. The more severe CPP cases are best managed using a multidisciplinary approach. Management requires good integration and knowledge of all pelvic organ systems and including musculoskeletal, neurologic and psychological mechanisms.
