Pelvic Pain Associated with a Gynecologic Etiology

Healthcare practitioners often treat women with coexistent gynecologic pelvic pain, which may be attributed by the patient to a pelvic floor disorder. This chapter presents the most likely gynecologic etiologies for pelvic pain. Pain can be acute, chronic, or acute-on-chronic. Knowledge of gynecologic etiologies of pelvic pain as well as musculoskeletal, urinary, colorectal, and gastrointestinal etiologies is essential for proper diagnosis and management.
