Regarding chronic pelvic pain and its treatment:
(a) It is defined as cyclical pain of greater than 3 months duration
(b) Presacral neurectomy is associated with more complications than laparoscopic uterine nerve ablation
(c) Bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy carries added painrelief above and beyond a hysterectomy if endometriosis is the cause
(d) Progestogens and psychotherapy together offer sustained benefits
(e) Counselling combined with ultrasound scanning has no effect on pain scores |
