Myths and facts
Separating myth from fact on chronic pelvic pain myths, because the myths are what keep patients undiagnosed for years.
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.
