Clinical pathway
Chronic Pelvic Pain
The EAU 2026 chronic-pelvic-pain pathway — a history- and examination-led algorithm whose two sequential gates first separate confirmable chronic secondary (disease-associated) pelvic pain from chronic primary pelvic pain syndrome (CPPPS), then route the CPPPS arm by organ system, before a UPOINT-phenotype-directed, bio-psychosocial management ladder across the bladder, prostate, scrotal, urethral, anorectal, pudendal, gynaecological and pelvic-floor pain syndromes. New for 2026: ketamine uropathy, on the secondary arm. Switch between the visual Pathway map and the phase-by-phase Explorer.
