26 October - Health - Understanding Chronic Pelvic Pain

In today’s show, we heard from Dr Corné van Graan – Specialist Urologist. We were talking about Chronic Pelvic Pain Syndrome. Chronic pelvic pain is pain that is steady, worsens, or keeps coming back for at least six months. It may also be pain that does not go away for at least three months. The pain is bad enough to cause problems with your daily activities. It may affect your physical, mental, or social well being. Dr van Graan explained more about the causes and the available treatment. For more information send an email to bladder@medicineandyou.co.za or visit www.ichealth.org
