Five persistent myths about chronic pelvic pain — Clinical guide

Medically reviewed by Dr Renaud Bollens — Professor of Urology

Clinical guide

A clear clinical guide to chronic pelvic pain myths, written for patients in New York and across the United States who are still looking for a straight answer.

Myth: a normal scan means nothing is wrong. In nerve pain a normal scan is expected, not reassuring.

Myth: pelvic pain is psychological when tests are negative. Pain that follows a nerve territory and changes with posture is anatomical, whatever the tests showed.

Myth: nothing can be done. For a compressed nerve, decompression is a real, established surgical option in the right patient.

If this describes your situation, a specialist review of chronic pelvic pain myths can be arranged remotely from anywhere in the United States.
