Glyn and Konrad have had the pleasure of working and collaborating with, being taught by and having access to the academic output of many talented and interesting individuals working within, and outside, the speciality. In the podcasts we want to have informal conversations with many varied and diverse individuals who have, and continue to, shape, develop and lead the field. We also hope to discuss chronic pain with patients and their parents, as well as clinicians working with them. We want them to help us explain the many different aspects that contribute to this complex presentation of pain that we all see. In addition we will see if we can get to know them a bit, what makes them tick and how their experiences have shaped them.

Chronic Pelvic Pain in Teenagers and Young People

Unraveling the Mystery of Chronic Pelvic Pain in Teenagers

Konrad starts the podcast by discussing an article that was published recently that discussed how artificial intelligence may be used in pain management.

Chronic pelvic pain is a debilitating condition that affects a significant number of adolescent girls, often leading to missed school days, social isolation, and a profound impact on their quality of life. In this insightful podcast, Dr. Katie Vincent, a leading gynecologist with expertise in adolescent gynecology, sheds light on this complex issue.

Dr. Vincent delves into the multifaceted nature of chronic pelvic pain, emphasizing the importance of a multidisciplinary approach involving gynecologists, pain specialists, physiotherapists, and psychologists. She discusses the challenges of assessing pelvic pain in adolescents, which requires sensitive questioning about periods, sex, and body image.

The podcast also explores the increasing recognition of neurodiversity and gender dysphoria in patients with chronic pelvic pain, highlighting the need for a personalised and inclusive approach. Additionally, Dr. Vincent shares her thoughts on the evolving role of surgery in managing chronic pelvic pain, citing the ongoing trial led by Professor Andrew Horne in Edinburgh.

Whether you are a healthcare professional seeking insights into this complex condition, a patient or family member navigating the challenges of chronic pelvic pain, or simply interested in women's health, this podcast offers a wealth of information and perspectives. Join Dr. Vincent as she navigates the intricate world of chronic pelvic pain in adolescents, providing a comprehensive understanding of the condition and the multidisciplinary approach to its management.
