Five persistent myths about chronic pelvic pain — Patient questions

Medically reviewed by Dr Renaud Bollens — Professor of Urology

Patient questions

The questions patients ask us most often about chronic pelvic pain myths — answered directly, without hedging.

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.
