Abstract
Objectives

To determine the prevalence of chronic pelvic pain (CPP) symptoms in Malaga and its province and to identify associated risk factors.

Method

A cross-sectional study was carried out in Malaga and its province, involving subjects aged 18–65 years 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 aged between 18 and 65 years 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<0.001). After correction by sex and age individuals who practice physical activity had a lower score in QCPP-M than others who did 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), and 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 0.078points/h, SE=0.04, P<0.068).

Conclusions

High prevalence of CPP symptoms in Málaga (22.8%); this is related to several significant risk factors.

Resumen
Objetivos

Determinar la prevalencia de síntomas de dolor pélvico crónico (DPC) en Málaga y provincia y detectar los factores de riesgo asociados.

Método

Estudio transversal entre habitantes de Málaga y provincia con edades comprendidas entre los 18 y 65 años; muestreo no probabilístico por cuotas (n=887; 414 mujeres y 473 hombres), estratificado por sexo, edad y comarcas. Todos cumplimentaron el CDPC-M, herramienta validada por su capacidad discriminativa entre sujetos con DPC y sujetos que no lo padecen.

Resultados

la prevalencia de síntomas de DPC en sujetos entre 18-65 años fue de 22,8% en la población en general (30,9%: mujeres y 15,6%: hombres) (RR=1.974 mujeres frente a hombres, IC 95%: 1,53-2,55, p<0,001). Tras corregirse por sexo y edad, los individuos que practican actividad física presentan una menor puntuación en CDPC-M que los que no la hacen (diferencia de medias −0,65 ±0,27). Los siguientes factores se asocian significativamente a mayor puntuación en la escala: levantar y/o mover carga en actividades de la vida diaria (1,34±0,33), la ingesta de laxantes y/o dieta rica en fibra (2,09±0,48), haber sufrido en el pasado enfermedad infecciosa urogenital — vulvovaginitis, cistitis y prostatitis — (1,77±0,55), hemorroides/fisura anal (1,31±0,40) o traumatismo pélvico (1,21±0,61) respectivamente. En relación con los hábitos posturales solo las horas que el sujeto pasa en bipedestación muestran tendencia a presentar mayores puntuaciones en CDPC-M (coeficiente de regresión ajustado por sexo y edad de 0,078 puntos/hora; EE=0,04; p<0,068).

Conclusiones

Alta prevalencia de síntomas de DPC en Málaga (22,8%), relacionada significativamente con diversos factores de riesgo.
