Chronic pelvic pain is pain lasting six months or more in the lower abdomen or pelvis, linked to a gynaecological condition such as endometriosis, adenomyosis, fibroids or PCOS (also known as PMOS). A PhD researcher at the University of Buckingham is inviting people with chronic pelvic pain to take part in a short anonymous survey exploring how this affects identity — including social relationships, mental health, pain beliefs, living according to personal values, and day-to-day life.
You may be eligible if you:
- Are 18 or over
Have pelvic pain of suspected or diagnosed gynaecological origin (e.g. endometriosis, adenomyosis, fibroids, PCOS)
Have experienced this pain for 6 months or more
Are fluent in English
You do not need a formal diagnosis to take part. The survey takes 15–20 minutes and no identifying information is collected.
