Description
Summary:Pelvic pain is a common symptom that affects women worldwide and usually presents with variable range of severity, duration, and location. Several gynecological conditions may result in pelvic pain, and may have a variable presentation among patients. Pelvic pain creates a significant challenge and frustration to both patients and clinicians, which also creates a significant burden on the economy. It is necessary to tailor the management of pelvic pain to each individual patient to achieve optimal outcomes. Endometriosis, adenomyosis, and fibroids result in pelvic pain and may occur simultaneously. This review highlights some of the common gynecological etiologies of pelvic pain with a focus on anatomy, diagnosis, and management. Clin. Anat. 9999:1–5, 2018. © 2018 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
