Mastcells (MCs) are the real conductor of the inflammatory process. In chronic pelvic pain (CPP), MCs are the maintaining contributors of chronic inflammation, leading to the shift between nociceptive and neuropathic pain. Gynecologists may improve CPP by understanding the pathophysiology of MCs in chronic inflammation and addressing it in a multimodal therapeutic process.
