Learn About Pudendal Neuralgia

What is the definition of Pudendal Neuralgia?
Pudendal Neuralgia occurs when the pudendal nerve is injured, irritated, or compressed. Symptoms include burning pain (often unilateral), tingling, or numbness in any of the following areas: buttocks, genitals, or perineum (area between the buttocks and genitals). Symptoms are typically present when a person is sitting but often go away when the person is standing or lying down. The pain tends to increase as the day progresses. Additional symptoms include pain during sex and needing to urinate frequently and/or urgently. Damage to the pudendal nerve can result from surgical procedures, childbirth, trauma, spasms of the pelvic floor muscles, or tumors. Pudendal Neuralgia may also result from certain infections (such as herpes simplex infections) or certain activities (such as cycling and squatting exercises). There are no imaging studies that diagnose Pudendal Neuralgia; however, MRI and CT may help to exclude other causes of the pain.

Does the Addition of a Traction Pad Reduce the Rate of Postoperative Pudendal Neuralgia?

Summary: Compared to the knee and shoulder, the hip joint leaves relatively little space to maneuver arthroscopic instruments and camera. To expand the potential space in the hip joint, traction is commonly applied to the operative leg through a perineal post. This is an effective technique to improve the working space for arthroscopy, however it has been associated with complications, including perineal n...

Perioperative Medical Program to Optimize Nerve Regeneration After Robot-assisted Laparoscopic Neurolyses of Pudendal and/or Inferior Cluneal Nerves for Chronic Neuralgias: Results After 1-year Follow-up

Summary: Pudendal and inferior cluneal neuralgias are responsible for chronic pelvicperineal pain. These two neuralgias are associated in approximately 25% of cases. In the event of failure of first-line multimodal medical treatment, a mini-invasive robot-assisted laparoscopic decompression can be proposed. These surgeries carry the risk of neurapraxia, leading to a temporary increase in neuropathic pain a...
