Chronic pelvic pain (CPP) is a type of pain that persists for more than three to six months, and is not solely attributed to menstruation, sexual activity, or bowel movements. This common condition, with prevalence estimates ranging between 5.7% and 26.6% of women worldwide, is complex and not well-understood.
The complexity of chronic pelvic pain makes it a vexing condition to manage. The intersection of gynecologic, urologic, gastrointestinal, musculoskeletal and psychosocial comorbidities that typically coincide in patients with chronic pelvic pain lends itself to a multifaceted care model.3 This approach incorporates physiotherapy, psychological therapies, and gynecological management.
