Abstract
OBJECTIVES: To determine the prevalence of Chronic Pelvic Pain (CPP) symptoms in Malaga and its province and to identify risk factors associated. METHOD: a cross-sectional study was carried out in Malaga and its province, 18-65 years-old throughout a non-probability sampling by quotas (n = 887), stratified by sex, age and counties. All participants completed the QCPP-M, a self-administered questionnaire, validated tool due to its ability to discriminate patients with and without CPP. RESULTS: prevalence of symptoms of CPP in subjects between 18-65 years-old was 22.8% in general population (30.9% women and 15.6% men) (RR = 1.974 for women versus men, 95% CI 1.53-2.55, P < .001). After correction by sex and age individuals who practice physical activity had a lower score in QCPP-M that others who do not not (mean difference -0.65 ± 0.27). They were significantly associated with higher scores in the following factors: lifting and/or moving weights in activities of daily life (1.34 ± 0.33), laxatives intake and/or high-fiber diet (2.09 ± 0.48), having suffered from urogenital infectious disease in the past: vulvovaginitis, cystitis and prostatitis (1.77 ± 0.55), hemorrhoids/anal fissure (1.31 ± 0.40) or pelvic trauma (1.21 ± 0, 61) respectively. Individuals who spend more time standing had a tendency to have higher scores on QCPP-M (coefficient of regression adjusted for sex and age of 0.078 points/hour, SE = 0.04, P < .068). CONCLUSIONS: High prevalence of CPP symptoms in Málaga (22.8%), this is related with significantly several risk factors.
