[Pelvic pain of proctological origin].

Pelvic pain of anorectal origin should be carefully investigated. The detailed clinical history may be sufficient to establish diagnosis and determine the etiology of anorectal pain. The diagnosis should be confirmed by complementary clinical investigations. The diagnosis of essential anorectal pain can be established only after failure of measures instituted to correct organic lesions and if pain persists. Among types of essential anorectal pain, coccygodinia and nervus pudendus entrapment are responsive to precise and effective management.
