Abstract

Chronic pelvic pain is a debilitating complex condition affecting men and women, but the knowledge gaps are salient. The condition impacts somatic, sexual, and mental health, as well as social, family, and work life. The complexity of the condition demands for a giant step away from traditional dualistic clinical approach. This commentary underpins the need to interweave multidisciplinary research within a biopsychosocial framework, as well as enhanced inclusion of the user perspective.
