A headache in the Pelvis

Chronic pelvic pain syndrome (CP/CPPS) is a disease which is characterised by pelvic or perineal pain. This condition is often evolved without any urinary tract infection and it generally lasts more than 3 months. The pain occurs in back and rectum which makes it sometimes very acute and it may also soothe down as well. Dysuria, arthralgia, myalgia, abdominal pain, are some of the symptoms. Frequent urination and increased urgency may also be there.
