title: Nonsurgical management of chronic pelvic pain: a multidisciplinary approach.
abstract: Experience with multidisciplinary management of CPP has demonstrated the importance of ruling out and of treating nongynecologic conditions such as myofascial syndrome, irritable bowel syndrome, urethral syndrome, and psychogenic pain in women with CPP and normal laparoscopies. Moreover, current data suggest that availability of a multidisciplinary pelvic pain clinic can reduce the frequency of hysterectomy for this disorder.
