Abstract
BACKGROUND
\nPelvic pain is not an uncommon complaint in women and its diagnosis and management can be taxing at times. Acute pelvic
\npain is an emergency and requires prompt and selective investigations to deal with the condition. Treatment is either medical
\nor surgical. Chronic pelvic pain can be very debilitating. In some rare cases, even after extensive investigations, the diagnosis
\nmay not be arrived at and the treatment remains empirical. While chronic pelvic pain mainly affects women in the
\nreproductive age group, acute pain can occur at all ages.
\nMATERIALS AND METHODS
\nThis study was done in 120 women who attended the clinics in the Department of OBG in Kanachur Institute of Medical
\nSciences, Mangalore.
\nRESULTS
\nMajority of the patients belonged to the 15-25 years age group.
\nCONCLUSION
\nA lot of our national resource has been spent on these problems and also a lot of national work hours are lost. The
\npathologies involved are also many. So, this study tries to shed in some light.
