ICOG Campus: Chronic Pelvic Pain for Gynecologists, OBG Postgraduates and Healthcare Providers | A CME Monograph on Etiopathogenesis, Diagnosis, Treatment and Impact on Quality of Life

ICOG Campus: Chronic Pelvic Pain is a concise, CME-style clinical monograph from the Indian College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists (ICOG), the academic wing of FOGSI, bringing together contributing authors from across Indian obstetrics and gynecology teaching departments in one focused reference on one of gynecology's most challenging presentations. Rather than a comprehensive textbook, this is a compact, up-to-date working reference designed to be read cover-to-cover in a single sitting and kept close at hand for clinical decision-making. The book is organized into six chapters that build a complete clinical picture of chronic pelvic pain (CPP): an introduction to the condition, its etiopathogenesis across gynecological, urological, gastrointestinal, musculoskeletal, and psychological systems, a step-by-step diagnostic approach, current and emerging treatment options, the impact of CPP on a patient's daily life and mental health, and a dedicated look at alternative therapies such as chiropractic care, herbal medicine, and aromatherapy. Each chapter is structured for quick, high-yield reading, with clearly bolded section headers, explanatory diagrams (including a mechanism diagram mapping the convergence of acute pain, central nervous system, and cognitive-behavioral pathways in CPP, and a step-by-step flowchart of the pain-signaling cascade from initial injury to chronic sensitization), and a boxed "Key Points" summary at the close of each chapter, all supported by a current, extensively referenced evidence base drawn from literature through 2025. Who This Book Is For: Obstetrics and Gynecology Postgraduates (MD/MS/DNB): a focused, exam-relevant overview of CPP etiopathogenesis, diagnosis, and management to build a structured understanding of a genuinely multifactorial condition. Gynecologists: a quick-reference update on current diagnostic pathways and emerging treatment options to bring into everyday outpatient consultations. Obstetricians: a concise primer on a condition that frequently overlaps with obstetric and reproductive care. PG Teaching Faculty: a ready-made, well-referenced teaching module structured by topic for use in postgraduate CME sessions and case discussions. Healthcare Professionals: practical insights into recognizing and appropriately referring the multisystem presentations of chronic pelvic pain. Why This Book Helps: Simplifies a genuinely multifactorial condition: brings together gynecological, urological, gastrointestinal, musculoskeletal, and psychological contributors to CPP in one coherent framework instead of scattered single-specialty sources. Structures the diagnostic workup: walks the reader through history-taking, physical examination, imaging, and biomarker/assessment-tool choices step by step, reducing the risk of a missed or delayed diagnosis. Keeps treatment knowledge current: summarizes both established and emerging therapeutic strategies, including alternative and holistic care models, in one place. Addresses the whole patient: dedicates a full chapter to the impact of CPP on daily life, mental health, and relationships, supporting a more empathetic, patient-centered consultation. Fits a busy clinical schedule: a compact monograph format that delivers a complete, evidence-based update on CPP without the time investment of a full textbook. Key Features: Six focused chapters carrying the reader from definition and epidemiology through etiopathogenesis, diagnosis, treatment, quality-of-life impact, and alternative therapies. A dedicated mechanism diagram illustrating how acute pain, central nervous system, and cognitive-behavioral pathways converge in chronic pelvic pain. A step-by-step flowchart tracing the pain-signaling cascade from an initial nociceptive event to established chronic pain mechanisms. Coverage of validated clinical assessment tools used in CPP workup, including the Pain Disability Index, Central Sensitization Inventory, Endometriosis Health Profile (EHP-30), Visual Analog Scale, and Numerical Rating Scale. A boxed "Key Points" summary at the end of each chapter for rapid revision, backed by an extensively referenced, current evidence base.
