How does chronic pelvic pain affect mental health?
Chronic pelvic pain is a persistent pain in the pelvic region lasting for six months or longer. This condition can severely impact a woman's quality of life, leading to conditions such as depression, anxiety, and even post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). The persistent nature of the pain often results in sleep disturbances, social withdrawal, and a diminished ability to perform daily activities, further exacerbating mental health issues.
