Chronic Pelvic Pain
Chronic pelvic pain is rare and relatively misunderstood a condition that drastically affects quality of living for the men that suffer from the disease. The severity and nature of symptoms significantly vary in different persons. The causes of pelvic pain have not gone through research thoroughly. Many disagreements between doctors arise about how to treat or diagnose chronic pelvic pain. It ranges from mild pain to excruciating pain and diagnosed typically as chronic prostatis (CP), chronic non bacterial, or chronic pelvic pain syndrome (CPPS). It occurs when patients have chronic pelvic pain that lasts over six months having no infection or disease. A dull ache and pressure in groin area, lower back, pelvis, penis or testicles, pain when urinating or blood in urine, sexual difficulties, erectile dysfunction, premature ejaculation, feeling exhausted, are common symptoms.
Causes of chronic pelvic pain are not well known, but cases have been documented to help establish patterns of common causes. Kidney and bladder disorders are included, like kidney stones, urinary tract infections, and interstitial cystitis, STDs, nerve disorders, scar tissue, hernias, hemorrhoids, and muscle damage. Having chronic pelvic pain diagnosed could be complicated and a long process and correctly getting to the cause will be crucial to the treatment. The doctor will begin by asking specifically about present and past health, symptoms, and previous surgeries. Pelvic pain seems to be inherited, so related problems and illnesses of siblings and parents should be noted by the doctor. Blood and urine tests are first performed to find infections and any imbalances, penile cultures are tested for STDs. CT scans, ultra sounds, and X-rays of testicles, lower abdomen, and pelvis are done to find immediate causes. Two most important tools for chronic pelvic pain diagnosing is electromyography (EMG) and (NCS) that test nerves by the insertion of small needles.
The symptoms and causes are so widespread and unpredictable that treatments vary from one patient to another. Muscle relaxants, antidepressants, anticonvulsants, antibiotics, painkillers, and opiates may be prescribed for chronic pelvic pain and in extreme circumstances, surgery may be necessary. New research uses therapy to alleviate some symptoms. One physical therapy uses relaxation and breathing techniques.
