Chronic pelvic pain syndrome (CPPS) is a condition characterized by prolonged and often excruciating pain in the pelvic area. This condition can affect both men and women and frequently has a significant impact on quality of life.
What complicates the treatment of CPPS is its multifactorial nature. The pain may be caused by various factors, including musculoskeletal disorders, inflammatory processes, nerve damage, or psychological factors. Sometimes it is very difficult to pinpoint an exact cause, which makes diagnosis and subsequent treatment challenging.
Symptoms include:
- Constant or intermittent pelvic pain lasting more than six months.
- Discomfort that worsens with certain body positions or physical activity.
- Urinary system disturbances such as frequent urination or pain during urination.
- Bowel problems, including constipation or diarrhea.
Due to the variety of causes and symptoms, treating CPPS requires a comprehensive approach that may involve medication, physiotherapy, psychological support, and lifestyle changes.
