Different forms of recurrent chronic pain which occurring simultaneously in women
Millions of women around the world suffer from pain which is not adequately treated, because of sustained opinion that recognize so called „physiological pain“, which represents menstrual pain or labour pain. We have little knowledge about the impact of reproductive organs on etiology, chronification and spreading of pain. Pathophysiological sexual differences between women and men that affect intensity, characteristics of pain and therapeutic effect of medication are not accepted. Ultimately, complex bio-psycho-social approach is not taken into account in the treatment.
Keywords: recurrent pain in women, impact of reproductive organs, bio-psycho-social approach.
