Most women, at some time in their lives, experience chronic painful pelvic and urological health conditions. When the condition persists for longer than 3 months, it is called chronic pelvic pain (CPP). This is a poorly-understood condition that likely represents abnormal neurological function, either in the peripheral nervous system or central nervous system.

Chronic pelvic pain is pain in your pelvic region, which is the area below your belly button and above your hips that lasts for at least 6 months. The pain may be a steady or it may come and go. It can feel like a dull ache, or it can be sharp. The pain may be mild, or it may be bad enough to interfere with normal daily activities.

Possible chronic painful pelvic and urological health conditions include:

  • three_womenEndometriosis

  • Interstitial Cystitis/Painful Bladder Syndrome

  • Irritable Bowel Syndrome

  • Pelvic Floor Dysfunction

  • Pelvic Inflammatory Disease

  • Pudendal Neuropathy

  • Vulvar Vestibulitis

P.U.R.E. H.O.P.E. is the only national non-profit organization that focuses on chronic painful pelvic health and painful bladder conditions.
