Chronic Pelvic Pain — A Structured Diagnostic Approach
Chronic pelvic pain has many causes — endometriosis, adenomyosis, adhesions, nerve, bladder, bowel and musculoskeletal. The first step is a proper workup, not a guess. We follow a structured diagnostic pathway to identify the actual cause.
Chronic pelvic pain affects an estimated 1 in 7 women. The most common gynaecological cause is endometriosis — which on average takes 7-9 years to diagnose. Earlier evaluation changes outcomes significantly.
Key Points
- Detailed pain history with cycle correlation
- Pelvic ultrasound + targeted MRI where indicated
- Hormonal evaluation
- Trial of medical therapy before considering surgery
- Diagnostic laparoscopy only when conservative workup is inconclusive
- Multidisciplinary referral for non-gynae causes
