Overview

Pelvic pain that persists for more than 6 months is considered chronic whereas pelvic pain that persists for less than this duration is considered acute. Differentiating between acute and chronic pelvic pain is important in understanding chronic pelvic pain syndromes. Common causes of pelvic pain are either gynecological such as midcycle ovulation and dysmenorrhea, gastrointestinal as seen in IBS or genitourinary such as UTI. The pain may indicate the presence of poorly understood conditions that likely represent abnormal psychoneuromuscular function.
