Abstract

The diagnostics of chronic pelvic pain is a complex interdisciplinary problem. It requires a thorough and detailed clinical examination involving clinicians of various specialties. Neuropathic pain in the structure of chronic pelvic pain is present in 1/3 of patients, which call the need for a close cooperation between the urologist and neurologist at all the stages of the management of these patients. The presented clinical analysis demonstrates an algorithm for such an interdisciplinary interaction, which provides a care for a patient with this complex and debilitating pathology.
