Abstract

The management of chronic pelvic pain poses a significant challenge to both physicians and patients. Patients should be evaluated for both gynecologic and nongynecologic conditions, and >1 source may be identified. Treatment involves medical as well as surgical options, and it is important to set realistic goals with patients. Treatment may not be curative, but should improve the patient's quality of life.
