Global Experts to Decode Chronic Pelvic Pain at FEPPA 2026 in Chennai

A major medical conference on chronic pelvic pain will take place in Chennai next year. Titled FEPPA 2026, the event runs from 11 to 12 April at The Savera Hotel. Organisers have set the theme as Decoding Pelvic Pain: From Confusion to Clarity, aiming to address gaps in diagnosis and treatment. The conference will gather specialists from gynaecology, urology, gastroenterology, pain medicine, physiotherapy, and mental health. Their focus will be on chronic pelvic pain—a complex, often underdiagnosed condition requiring coordinated care.

Sessions will explore key mechanisms behind the pain, including central sensitisation and hormonal effects. Experts will also examine the gut microbiome's role and its links to pelvic pain syndromes. Bladder-related pain and how different body systems interact will form part of the discussions. The programme includes dedicated sessions on adolescents and transgender individuals experiencing pelvic pain. Mental health support, lifestyle changes, and psychological approaches to pain management will also feature. Another topic will be the connection between irritable bowel syndrome and chronic pelvic pain. Attendees can earn credit points from the Tamil Nadu Medical Council. No international medical organisations have been confirmed as official partners for the event so far.

FEPPA 2026 aims to improve understanding of chronic pelvic pain through multidisciplinary collaboration. The conference will provide updated research and practical strategies for healthcare professionals. Registration details and further updates are expected closer to the event dates.
