Presentation
EVIDENCE SYNTHESIS: Twenty-eight RCTs identified were eligible for this review and presented. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Entire Body System
- Turkish
CONCLUSION: It has been determined that although there is a strong and significant correlation between UPOINT classification and NIH-CPSI score in Turkish patients with chronic prostatitis or chronic pelvic pain syndrome, the inclusion of ED as an independent [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Urogenital
- Dysuria
Associated issues that signal that your pelvic pain could be caused by a serious issue include: Fever Frequent urination, particularly at night (nocturia) An urgent need to urinate Pain or burning sensation when urinating (dysuria) A bulge of the pelvis [verywellhealth.com]
If the bladder is involved, patients may also complain of dysuria, hematuria and urinary frequency [31]. The pathophysiology of endometriosis remains unknown. [oatext.com]
Early clinical symptoms may begin with mild dysuria or urinary urgency. Mild symptoms may progress to severe voiding frequency, nocturia, and suprapubic pain. [auanet.org]
Urinary Tract Infection A urinary tract infection (UTI) may cause pelvic pain, but usually has associated painful urination (dysuria), frequent urge to urinate, and lower pelvic pressure. [onhealth.com]
Leslie, MD, has found that some of his patients have very alkaline urine, which can also be irritating and result in discomfort and dysuria. Sitz bath Sitz baths may provide partial relief from acute exacerbations. [emedicine.medscape.com]
- Dyspareunia
The search terms used were “dyspareunia,” “dysmenorrhoea,” and “pelvic/abdominal pain.” [sti.bmj.com]
The classic features include urinary urgency and frequency, nocturia, dyspareunia and pelvic or lower abdominal pain [49]. [oatext.com]
Sexual history Pain on initial penetration suggests vulvodynia or vaginal/pelvic muscle spasm, deep dyspareunia is associated with endometriosis, while post-coital pain can be a feature of pelvic congestion syndrome. [bpac.org.nz]
Pain During Sex Pelvic pain during sex (dyspareunia) has been discussed as a symptom in most of the conditions described previously. Pain may occur superficially on the surface of the genitals, deeper near the cervix, or anywhere in between. [onhealth.com]
Workup
In terms of that, we would evaluate any system that we feel is necessary, and that requires an additional workup to see the cause of Chronic Pelvic Pain Syndrome. [youtube.com]
This consideration may require additional diagnostic workup and/or referral to appropriate specialists. Treatment Levels for IC/BPS. [auanet.org]
Treatment
CONCLUSION: However the treatment of CP-CPPS is challenging and difficult for the urologists. This clinical study showed that the acupuncture treatment is a safe and effective treatment of category IIIB CP-CPPS. Copyright © 2015 Elsevier Inc. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Prognosis
What is the prognosis for a person with pelvic pain? The prognosis can be excellent for certain types of pelvic pain, such as an ectopic pregnancy that has not ruptured or an uncomplicated UTI. [medicinenet.com]
[…] absence of infection.[2] In 1999, the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK) devised a new classification system.[3][4] For more specifics about each type of prostatitis, including information on symptoms, treatment, and prognosis [en.wikipedia.org]
Inform the patient that none of these items is known to cause actual physical damage or to worsen the long-term prognosis. Nevertheless, responsible limitation of these items may help to control the day-to-day symptoms. [emedicine.medscape.com]

Etiology
PURPOSE: Although chronic prostatitis/chronic pelvic pain syndrome is a prevalent urological disorder among men of all ages, its etiology remains unknown. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Epidemiology
KEYWORDS: cystitis; epidemiologic research design; interstitial; pain; prostate; symptom assessment [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Pathophysiology
With its multifactorial pathophysiology and its various clinical presentations, the management of CP/CPPS demands a phenotypic-directed approach addressing the individual clinical profile of each patient. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Prevention
Can chronic pelvic pain be prevented or avoided? Whether your chronic pelvic pain can be prevented or avoided depends on what is causing the pain. There are many different causes. Some of them can be prevented. Others cannot be prevented. [familydoctor.org]
UCPPS symptoms involved, concurrent nonpelvic symptoms (e.g., diarrhea), symptom intensity (mild to severe), duration (minutes to years), and frequency (daily to CONCLUSIONS: Given their negative impact, future research should focus on approaches to prevent [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
How can pelvic inflammatory disease be prevented? To help prevent PID, take the following steps to avoid STIs: Use condoms every time you have sex to prevent STIs. Use condoms even if you use other methods of birth control. [m.acog.org]
Can pelvic pain be prevented? Pelvic pain can only be prevented to the extent that the specific cause of pain can be prevented. [medicinenet.com]
