Abstract

Chronic Pelvic Pain Syndrome (CPPS) is a common disease with complex pathogenesis that combines urological, immune, psychological, neurological, endocrine, metabolic, and sexual disorders. The article presents general ideas about CPPS. Features of modern terminology, epidemiology, classification and pathogenesis of the disease, in particular, genetic, endocrine, psychoneurological risk factors for the development of CPPS are presented. The idea of mechanisms of chronic pain development and development, which included the concept of central and peripheral sensitization, description of changes in the content of proinflammatory and anti-inflammatory cytokines, metabolism of tryptophan, glutamate and gamma-aminobutyrate, kinase activity of G-protein 2. The characteristic of clinical forms of CPPS is considered.
