Abstract
Chronic pain of the genital region remains a therapeutic challenge. Among men, symptoms are mainly related to the prostate, bladder and scrotal organs, and among women to the bladder and vagina. Only some of the cases demonstrate pathologic changes of the symptomatic organs requiring specific treatment. Among pain medications, peripheral analgesics are the most suitable. In the case of chronic pain, which can be classified according to Gerbershagen, a psychosomatic origin also has to be considered and needs to be evaluated. Analgesics are of minor importance in the treatment of psychosomatic syndromes but tricyclic antidepressants or anticonvulsants may be helpful. Relaxation techniques also need to be considered.
