Published: March 2010

Undertreatment of all forms of acute and chronic pain is also present in Germany. Chronic inguinal pain and post vasectomy pain are frequently observed in urological practice and appear as chronic postsurgical pain. Chronic pelvic pain has inflammatory causes in the majority of cases and appears as a challenge for the treating physician. Pain should be treated as early as possible, if necessary also interdisciplinary, with regard to the further chronification process with changes of biological, psychological and social factors. For the patient the pain chronification can be accompanied by the reduction of quality of life and social isolation.
