Abstract:
Chronic pelvic pain is a common condition, which accounts for up to 10% of gynecological consultations and for over a third of diagnostic laparoscopies. In addition to gynecological etiologies for the pelvic pain, the physician must also consider gastroenterological, urological, and neurological disease as a possible basis for the pain. This article discusses the major gastroenterological causes of pelvic pain.
