Abstract
Chronic pelvic pain is a very common condition in the female population of the United States. Some authors suggest that this entity prompts up to one-third of all outpatient gynecological visits [Kloch 1995]. Heretofore, chronic pelvic pain has been associated with female genital tract disease; however, recent observations have shown that this syndrome can be due to a multitude of problems, not the least of which are abdominal and pelvic wall hernias. This report is intended to emphasize the role of non-gynecologic diseases, particularly rare abdominal and pelvic wall hernias, in the genesis of chronic pelvic pain and the need for general surgeons to be involved with the investigation and management of this frequently frustrating gynecological problem.
