Pain is one of the most common reasons that patients seek medical care, and affects one-third of the population within a given year. Pain is not always "functional" (physiologic), but often is pathologic, or chronic. This article describes the mechanisms of pain, showing how a protective response can become altered to chronic pain state, such as chronic pelvic pain.
