Chronic Pelvic Pain 

A new addition to the Gynecology in Practice series, Chronic Pelvic Pain provides a practical guide to diagnosing and treating chronic pelvic pain in women. Emphasizing diagnosis, management and psychological aspects, the book assists gynecologists to better care for their patients suffering from this condition. As a part of the series, various feature boxes are highlighted throughout. ‘Tips and Tricks’ give suggestions on how to improve outcomes through practical technique or patient questioning. In addition, ‘Caution’ warning boxes supply helpful advice on how to avoid problems and ‘Science Revisited’ boxes offer quick reminders of the basic science principles necessary for understanding the presented concepts.
