Chronic pelvic pain (CPP) is a common debilitating
condition of women affecting perhaps one in six of the
adult female, mostly in their reproductive life(1). CPP
accounts for substantial personal sufferings and health
care expenditure for interventions, including multiple
consultations, medical & surgical therapies. Chronic
pelvic pain (CPP) can be defined as intermittent or
constant pain in the lower abdomen or pelvis of a woman
of at least 6 months in duration not occurring exclusively
with menstruation or intercourse and not associated
with pregnancy(1). It is a symptom, not a diagnosis,
though not a life threatening condition, has significant
impact on quality of life and functional capability. As
the underlying patho physiology of this complex
condition is poorly understood, CPP is difficult to
diagnose & treat and more often difficult to get complete
cure and patient’s satisfaction creating frustration for
the patients as well as their attending physicians.
