Overview
Treatment of pelvic pain is a complex phenomenon and depends on the clinical experience. It requires individual approach including detailed analysis of possible etiologies. However this approach is not feasible in normal urological practice. Better chance for treatment success offer specialized centers focusing on the chronic pain syndrome (CPP). Recently used mini-invasive techniques show relatively good outcomes especially in patients refractory on traditional treatment. Mini-invasive techniques combined with traditional treatment focused on the most probable etiologies represent some hope in the CPP treatment modalities.
