The statement highlights the lack of a universally accepted definition of CPP, inconsistent access to specialized care, and gender-based disparities in pain management as major obstacles to effective treatment. It calls for the development of a standardized classification system, expanded access to transdisciplinary care and increased research funding to better understand and treat the condition. 

Chronic pelvic pain (CPP) profoundly affects a significant number of women globally, impacting their quality of life and posing substantial personal, familial, social, and healthcare challenges. It's crucial for every healthcare provider, and the society as a whole, to recognize and effectively address CPP, as early diagnosis and appropriate management are essential for improving patient outcomes. ~ Dr Juan Villegas-Echeverri, Director of the FIGO Benign Surgery Division 

The report underscores that CPP not only affects physical health but also has profound emotional, social, and economic consequences, particularly for women in low- and middle-income countries. 

Among the key recommendations, FIGO and IPPS advocate for enhanced education, CPP care integrated into primary healthcare, and stronger advocacy. They urge policymakers to prioritize CPP and allocate resources for affected women. 

The FIGO-IPPS consensus statement calls for real actions and provides guidance on this vital women's health issue, advocating for increased awareness, research, and resources dedicated to this often under-recognized condition. ~ Dr Juan Villegas-Echeverri, Director of the FIGO Benign Surgery Division 

This call to action marks a significant step towards recognizing and addressing the global burden of CPP. The initiative aims to improve healthcare access, promote gender equality in pain management, and enhance quality of life for millions of women worldwide.
