PAIN (CPP)

INTRODUCTION

CPP is very common Several paraclinical workups Aggressive treatment Importance of good clinical exam

Gynaecologic Neighbouring organs

Complex and invasive procedures (coelioscopy) CPP can be divided into 3 groups

non-periodic periodic psychogenic

1. NON PERIODIC CPP

Can involve the genitals or not

1.1 Extra genital CPP

Bones and muscles pains: most often pathology of intervertebral disk, sacro-iliac and coxo-femoral joints, rarely from abdominal, ilio-psoas, piriform, pubo-coccygeus and obturator muscles

1.1a Pain from digestive origin

Possible disease include

• Functional colopathy

• Recto-colitis

• Crohn’s disease

• Diverticular disease of the large intestine

• Inguinal and femoral hernias

1.1b Pain from urinary origin

Cystitis, stones especially ureteral

1-2 Genital pain

Architectural / organic

Broad ligament lesion and utero-sacral ligament involved

Obstetrical trauma

Clinical exam: deep dyspareunia and cervical excitation on BME

Coelioscopy: varicose veins of mesosalpinxand tear of the broad ligaments (Master and Allen syndrome)

Treatment is surgical

Retroversion of the uterus

Primary dyspareunia

↑upright position, walking and supine position

Shortening of the round ligaments

Freezing of the Douglas

Organic lesions of the genitalia

The disease history varies depending on the pathology and the organ affected

Superficial dyspareunia ← atrophy of the

vulva, genital prolapse, infectious vaginitisor past history of vaginal tear

Fibromyomatous uterus (35%) pain of dull type, acute torsion, aseptic necrobiosis

Genital cancers

Metastasis to the nerves tissues of the pelvis

Ovarian cysts: dull pain in 70% (acute circumstances)

2. CPP INFLUENCED BY THE

MENSTRUAL CYCLE

A painful syndrome with same spontaneous evolution, repeating itself in every cycle should be suggestive of a disorder affecting the normal menstrual cycle

2.1 Dysmenorrhoea

Pain preceding or accompanying menses

Associated symptoms: digestive, headache, oedema, lipothymy

Primary D

Secondary D (latent period)

There is no essential dysmenorrhoea without an ovulatory cycle, that is a secretory endometriumand an impregnated myometrium by lutealsecretions

After 1st pregnancy, primary D is not common

Several theories:

• Spasmodic theory

• Ischaemic theory

• Congestive theory

Collection of factors: cervical, hormonal, neurologic, psychological

Secondary D ← endometriosis, cervical stenosis

genital infections, malformations

2.2 Premenstrual syndrome

Collection of physical and psychological manifestations involving the entire organism

Breast manifestations

Abdomino-pelvic signs

Neuropsychic syndrome

Disappearance at the onset of menses

Several theories: hormonal imbalance, effects of prolactin, prostaglandins, psychological and cultural factors

Treatment = symptomatic

2.3 Endometriosis

Presence of endometrium out of the uterine cavity

PP = aggravated during menstruation but can become permanent

May be accompany by tenesmus, pollakiuria, and dyspareunia

Diagnosis = coelioscopy for external one

Treatment: coelioscopy / medical

Adenomyosis

2.4 Inflammatory sequelae

Only inflammatory sequelae accompanied by subperitoneal lesions result in CPP

Coelioscopy → peri adnexial adhesions,

ovarian dystrophy, tubo-ovarian abscess

Treatment: rest and abstinence, anti-

inflammatory drugs and antibiotics

If failure: surgery (as conservatory as possible)

2.5 Ovarian dystrophy

Fertility disorders, menstrual disorders, hirsutism, and obesity

Ovulatory pain

BME: sensitive ovaries

Volume ↑ (premenstrual period) ↓ after

Speculum: abundantly persistent mucous indicating absence of ovulation and oestrogen predominance

Diagnosis: ultrasonography

Treatment: medical (COC, neurosedatives)

2.6 Functional cyst

Several clinical presentations

Pelvic pain with onset at mid cycle

Menstrual disorders

Adnexal mass (BME)

Diagnosis = ultrasonography

Treatment option: stoppage of ovarian activity x 3 months or surgery

3. Pelvic pain from psychological

origin

CONCLUSION

The importance of acute pelvic pain lies on its emergency that it presents. Diagnosis and treatment are usually rapid and efficient proved by biology, echography and cœlioscopy; unlike CPP in which we know: How difficult the problem is

How our success and failure remain often unexplained

And how crucial this problem is to women as this pain affects their sexual and/or social life up to an extent where some may prefer or accept hysterectomy and castration.

Above all it is recommended not to think of extreme possibilities that might be tempting with cases of CPP like surgery or psychiatric measures.
