Trigonalgia : an overlooked cause of bladder pain
Abstract
Bladder pain is a cause of chronic pelvic pain, which constitutes a common presentation in urology out-patient consultation, especially among females. Some endoscopic features of the trigone observed during cystoscopy was correlated with mild to moderately bothersome bladder pain, termed trigonalgia. This is due to peculiarity of the trigonal anatomy from the rest of bladder, especially with the highest concentration of afferent nerves. Research focused on the trigone is worthwhile.
