Pelvic pain
Acute pain
intense and characterized by the sudden onset,
sharp rise, and short course.
Chronic pelvic pain
Pain of > 6 month in duration with at least 2
weeks duration/ month
Localized to the anatomical pelvis
Severe enough to cause functional disability
or necessitating medical care
2/2/2011
Chronic Pelvic Pain
• Prevalence: 38/1,000 in primary care
populations (asthma is 37/1,000)
• Women > men
• Misdiagnosis or lack of diagnosis is common
• Accounts for 10% of referrals to gynaecologists
• 40% of laparoscopies performed by
gynecologists are for chronic pain
• Only 50% of patients actually receive a
diagnosis, 20% never had any investigations
• 34% have had at least
one diagnostic procedure

Summary
•
•
•
•
•
CPP is a complex pain syndrome
Many contributing factors
Myofascial contributors frequently over looked
Pelvic floor “forgotten” myofascial source
Integrated approach offers best chance at best
outcomes
• Evaluate pain behaviors
• Return to functioning is a more realistic goal
than making a patient pain free
• Correct predisposing factors
2/2/2011
Acute pelvic pain

Summary
• Dyspareunia – superficial, deep
- infective, inflammatory, ‘physiological’, tumour,
anatomical
• Vaginal discharge – physiological or pathological
- BV, Candidiasis, Trichomonas, PID
• PID – related to sexual activity
- Chlamydia and gonorrhoea
- BUT not necessarily an STI
- pain, occasional vaginal discharge
- can be acute or chronic
