[Pelvic joint syndrome as the cause of chronic pelvic pain in women].
We describe four cases of women with chronic pelvic pain caused by the pelvic joint syndrome. In three of the cases the women suffered from severe pelvic girdle relaxation during their last pregnancy. In one case the symptoms occurred after a trauma to the pelvis. We emphasize the need to obtain a meticulous medical history when investigating women with pelvic pain and the importance of an extended pelvic examination, especially when the gynecological examination is normal.
