This 2022 chapter discusses pelvic pain as a complex symptom with multiple possible underlying causes arising from shared pelvic anatomy, including genital organs, intestine, urinary tract, blood vessels, and nerves. It covers how diagnosing and management are organized by determining the specific anatomical source of pain, while noting that disorders such as endometriosis may be difficult to treat. The chapter does not provide original study data but presents an overview of causes, diagnosis, and management according to the cause, with an explicit limitation that treatment complexity can hinder straightforward discrimination. Relevance to endometriosis: the chapter explicitly mentions endometriosis as an example of a pelvic pain disorder that may be difficult to treat, though its main focus is a broad framework for pelvic pain evaluation and management.

Abstract Pelvic pain is a complex symptom of several underlying mechanisms. Diagnosing and treating pelvic pain may be challenging since pelvic anatomical region is shared by genital organs, intestine, urinary tract, blood vessels, and nerves. All these organs can originate pelvic pain, and anatomical discrimination is essential to determine management strategy. In addition, disorders, such as, endometriosis may be difficult to treat. In this chapter, we will discuss causes of pelvic pain, diagnosis, and management according to the cause.
