Abstract

Pelvic pain is one of the most difficult human conditions to diagnose and treat. The pelvis is composed of a complicated network of somatic and visceral nerves; connective tissues; as well as reproductive, urinary, and gastrointestinal organs. Pain in the pelvis can thus be from any of these areas. In order to diagnose and treat patient correctly it is very important to have a knowledge of all nongynecologic and gynecologic conditions leading to pelvic pain. Despite this knowledge, diagnosis may still be very difficult. Often very reexamining history and medical records may be helpful. In many patients pelvic floor is a main contributing factor to pelvic pain.
