Chronic pelvic pain
Best Practice & Research Clinical Gastroenterology , 08/10/09

Baranowski AP – Chronic pelvic pain affects both men and women; there are probably common mechanisms that involve the central nervous system. In many cases, the symptoms may be localised to a single end organ. However, the involvement of the central nervous system may result in a complex regional pain syndrome affecting the whole pelvis and as a consequence, multiple–organ symptomatology. The initial trigger may be relatively benign but a predisposed individual may develop a range of significant sensory and efferent functional abnormalities.
