Chronic pelvic pain, is defined as any pelvic pain lasting over six months. It can result from a variety of urological, gynaecological or gastrointestinal aetiologies. It tends to affect women of reproductive age and can have a signi?cant impact on women’s health, relationships and quality of life. In a majority of cases no aetiological factors are identifiable and there is no consensus in treating and managing such patients. Treatment can be frustrating and can lead to breakdown of the patient–doctor relationship.
