Chronic cystitis: etiology and clinical picture

Oral contraceptives, gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GHG) analogues, progestogens and danazol have proven efficacy, however, their safety profiles differ significantly. Thus, in one comparative study, women who received HGH analogues had a greater reduction in pain scores compared to those who took oral contraceptives, but they experienced a significant decrease in bone mineral density.

This adverse effect of HGH analogues can be mitigated by the addition of low doses of norethindrone, estrogen, or a combination of estrogen and progesterone, which simultaneously reduces hot flashes and vaginal symptoms. Cystitis and myofascial syndrome in chronic pelvic pain

Intermediate cystitis accompanies endometriosis and CPP in 60% of patients. Under these conditions, pentosan polysulfate sodium is indicated as initial therapy, the oral use of which in interstitial cystitis

approved by the Food and Drug Administration

USA (Food and Drug Administration, FDA). This drug restores the protective layer of glycosaminoglycans in the bladder. Amitriptyline is also recommended for the treatment of nocturia associated with interstitial cystitis.

Pharmacotherapy of chronic renal failure A recent systematic review of the treatment of chronic pelvic pain demonstrated the efficacy of neuromuscular blockade in patients with symptoms of myofascial pain.

A Cochrane review of the non-surgical treatment of chronic pelvic pain
caused by pelvic congestion syndrome or adhesions

found that medroxyprogesterone acetate predominantly resulted in a 50% reduction in pain with a duration of action of the drug up to 9 months compared with patients who who were taking a placebo. In comparative studies,

HRH analogues were more effective in reducing chronic pelvic pain than

progestogens. X-ray therapy is as effective in eliminating CPP as hysterectomy and even has an advantage, since this procedure can be performed on an outpatient basis. Diagnosis, treatment and prevention of urolithiasis from the standpoint of evidence-based medicine

Irritable Bowel Syndrome ─ most likely cause if chronic pelvic pain is associated with changes in stool consistency or frequency of defecation. These patients are often prescribed antispasmodics, but their anticholinergic effects may exacerbate constipation. Diet therapy and dietary fiber supplementation improve symptoms.

Physical therapy aims to restore strength, elasticity, balance and coordination of the pelvic floor muscles and surrounding lumbopelvic muscles, which improves bowel, bladder and genital function. Especially indicated in patients with dyspareunia, vaginismus, or pinpoint tenderness on examination.

This type of treatment is performed by a physical therapist using specific pelvic floor muscle training techniques

. Male hormonal contraception: key features

The purpose of relaxation exercises is to reduce the tone of overactive pelvic muscles, which improves the symptoms of chronic pelvic pain, vulvodynia, and perineal neuralgia. The patient is told what exactly causes excessive tone of the pelvic floor muscles, and is offered a set of exercises that reduce muscle tone.
