Pudendal Neuralgia

You’ve tried stretching.
You’ve tried resting.
But sitting still hurts.

Pudendal neuralgia isn’t “just nerve pain.” It’s the quiet thief of your daily life — the reason sitting at work, driving a car, or enjoying a meal with friends has become a calculated risk. How many moments of intimacy have you avoided because the fear of pain has replaced desire?

It’s the discomfort you can’t explain without feeling awkward, it’s not in your head.

What Is Pudendal Neuralgia?

The pudendal nerve carries sensation from your genitals, perineum, and anus. When it’s irritated, trapped, or hypersensitive, the result can be burning, stabbing, or aching pain in these intimate areas.

When irritated, this nerve can cause:

  • Burning, stabbing or electric-shock pain in the pelvic or genital region
  • Pain when sitting, cycling or wearing tight clothes
  • Numbness or tingling in the perineum
  • Pain during or after sexual activity
  • Difficulty tolerating physical intimacy
  • Changes in bowel or bladder discomfort

It’s a condition that can quietly take away your freedom, intimacy and confidence.

Advanced Interventional Treatments for Pudendal Neuralgia

We specialise in evidence-based, hospital-performed procedures that target the nerve pathways directly.

Pudendal Nerve Rhizotomies
Uses radiofrequency treatment to deactivate pelvic nerve branches when other treatments haven’t worked providing prolonged relief compared to blocks alone.
All injections are performed in hospital under sedation, ensuring both safety and comfort.

Pelvic Floor Botox Injections
Release muscle guarding and spasm that compress the pudendal nerve

Stellate Ganglion Block (SGB)
Reset overactive nerve pathways affecting pelvic pain perception.

Ketamine Infusion Therapy

Are These Treatments Safe?

Yes. Every injection and nerve procedure is:

  • Performed in a hospital setting
  • Guided by real-time imaging
  • Carried out under sedation for comfort
  • Monitored by an experienced specialist pain team
