Chronic pelvic pain syndrome in gynecological practice
Chronic pelvic pain syndrome is a condition lasting over six months, characterized by significant life impairment and often unknown etiology, requiring comprehensive diagnostics and a multidisciplinary, stepwise treatment approach.

The paper reviews chronic pelvic pain syndrome (ХТБ) in gynecological practice, defining chronic pelvic pain as benign pain lasting at least 6 months and framing chronic pelvic pain syndrome as a diagnosis of exclusion with typical obligatory criteria (e.g., low treatment efficacy, psychosocial impact). It outlines high-level diagnostic approaches, including clinical history, laboratory testing, imaging (ultrasound, Doppler), MRI/X-ray, endoscopic evaluations, and diagnostic laparoscopy, noting a key limitation that about 30% of patients have pain of unclear origin and remain diagnostically challenging. For treatment-resistant pain, it describes invasive options such as pudendal nerve block, TENS, and sacral neuromodulation, emphasizing escalation from less invasive methods and a multidisciplinary approach with often psychotherapist involvement. Relevance to endometriosis: the paper discusses chronic pelvic pain as a broad gynecologic framework that can encompass endometriosis among differential diagnoses, but it does not explicitly focus on endometriosis or adenomyosis.
