Chronic pelvic pain
Gastroenterol Clin North Am.

Abstract
Chronic pelvic pain is pain lasting longer than 6 months and is estimated to occur in 15% of women. Causes of pelvic pain include disorders of gynecologic, urologic, gastroenterologic, and musculoskeletal systems. The multidisciplinary nature of chronic pelvic pain may complicate diagnosis and treatment. Treatments vary by cause but may include medicinal, neuroablative, and surgical treatments.
Keywords: Chronic pelvic pain; Levator syndrome; Myofascial pain; Pelvic pain syndrome; Proctalgia fugax.
