Abstract

Introduction: Chronic pelvic pain (CPP) is a difficult condition to identify and many disorders are correlated. This study investigates the role of hysteroscopy as a complementary exam in the diagnosis of CPP. Methods: One hundred ninety-one medical records of women with indication to perform a hysteroscopy and presented CPP were reviewed. Results: The analysis showed abnormalities in 99 patients. Of these, more than 70% presented conditions that could cause CPP. Cervical stenosis and findings suggestive of adenomyosis were the most frequent ocurrences. Conclusions: Hysteroscopy is useful to detect pathological conditions of the cervix and uterine cavity that may coexist with chronic pelvic pain.
