pudendal neuralgia/inflammation

OBJECTIVE To demonstrate that the deep infiltration of the pudendal nerve guided by tomography is a good treatment option for patients with refractory neuralgia. METHODS Two cases of pudendal neuralgia are presented, both expressed mainly with pain in the perineal and gluteal areas. Both cases had

Pelvic pain is a frequent complaint in women during both reproductive and post-reproductive years. Vulvodynia includes different manifestations of chronic vulvar pain with no known cause. Many women do not receive a diagnosis and appropriate treatment. Pudendal neuralgia is a painful condition

Chronic pelvic pain (CPP) in men is rarely considered to have a neurogenic (neuropathic) basis. Separation of neurogenic from non-neurogenic pain is possible using clinical examination and neurophysiologic tests. A definite diagnosis of neuropathic pain can be made. We aim to demonstrate that

Several studies have described the course and anatomical relations of the pudendal nerve. Several surgical nerve decompression techniques have been described, but only the transgluteal approach has been validated by a prospective randomized clinical trial. The purpose of this study was to describe

Male chronic prostatitis/chronic pelvic pain syndrome (CP/CPPS) is represented by a heterogeneous group of symptoms that can cause an important impairment of daily quality of life for patients. Diagnosis of CP/CPPS is often not clear and treatment can be challenging, as it varies according to the

Obturator nerve neuropathies after tension-free vaginal tape or transobturator tape are considered to be caused by nerve trauma, although it is unclear whether these are accidents or whether these injuries are inherent to the procedure of tape insertion. Two cases show that obturator nerve

Vulvodynia is a chronic vulvar discomfort often characterized by the patient's complaint of burning, stinging, irritation, or rawness. Vulvodynia has been recorded for centuries. Successful diagnostic techniques and treatment modalities, however, have come about only in the last decade. An accurate

The symptom of vulvar burning demands special evaluation and management. Possible factors include complications of therapy, inflammatory dermatoses, lichen sclerosus, and infection with organisms such as Candida, human papillomavirus, and herpes simplex virus. Vulvar vestibulitis and dysesthetic
