This chapter defines chronic pelvic pain as ongoing pelvic pain or discomfort lasting more than 6 months and notes associated psychological and social consequences, excluding pain from primary, secondary, or recurrent malignant disease. It focuses on pain syndromes related to pelvic innervation, highlighting the pudendal nerve and associated concepts such as pudendal neuritis/neuralgia and related diagnostic terms (e.g., pudendal nerve terminal motor latency) within a coloproctology context. A key limitation is that the provided text is only the abstract/section metadata with minimal specific results, so the chapter’s detailed evidence base is not shown here. The paper is not centrally about endometriosis or adenomyosis; it addresses chronic pelvic pain and pelvic pain syndromes broadly, which include relevance to endometriosis as part of the general differential for chronic pelvic pain.
