Abstract
The diagnosis and treatment of chronic pelvic pain have shifted from organ-specific to multifactorial, multidisciplinary, and individualized approach. While many organizations have had diverse outlooks on classification and treatment plans, new research has identified varied clinical phenotypes and updated classification systems. These phenotypes are based on pain, gender, symptomatology, and comorbid pain syndromes. These new classification systems allow a multi-modal therapeutic approach and evaluation of patients. Multidisciplinary care, including urology, gynecology, gastroenterology, neurology, psychology, physiotherapy, and pain medicine, is also further recognized for adequate management of patients with chronic pelvic pain because of its variable etiology. The purpose of this review is to emphasize these changes and discuss management strategies.
