Abstract

Chronic pelvic pain (CPP) is a poorly understood, often neglected but important area of gynecological practice. Chronic pain is not simply an acute pain that has not been cured. It results from damage within the pain pathway and that's why, even after removal of the initial stimulus pain continues to trouble. Careful history taking, meticulous examination and relevant investigation are three cornerstones for evaluating a patient with CPP. The principle of management is simultaneous treatment of pain and the cause of pain, with a multidisciplinary approach.
