Surgery in New Jersey for Pudendal Neuralgia: Lasting Relief for Chronic Pelvic Pain
Up to 85% of patients experience meaningful pain reduction with our advanced, minimally invasive, microsurgical approach—even after conservative treatments have failed.
What Causes Pudendal Neuralgia?
Pudendal neuralgia occurs when the pudendal nerve—responsible for sensation and muscle control in the pelvic floor, perineum, and genitals—becomes compressed, irritated, or damaged. This can happen at several points along the nerve’s pathway, including Alcock’s canal or between pelvic ligaments.
The pudendal nerve can be affected by a variety of factors, such as prolonged sitting, cycling, falls on the tailbone, childbirth, pelvic surgery, or chronic pelvic floor dysfunction. Compression can trigger burning, stabbing, numb, or aching pain that often worsens with sitting, bowel movements, urination, or intimacy.
Our nerve surgery experts routinely travel to New Jersey to offer access to advanced diagnostics and specialized surgical treatment for this complex and often misdiagnosed condition.

Am I a Candidate for Nerve Decompression Surgery?
You may be a candidate for nerve decompression surgery if you’ve tried conservative treatments without relief and your symptoms suggest nerve compression. A nerve block or specialized imaging may help confirm the diagnosis.
You may qualify if you:
- Have pelvic, perineal, or genital pain that worsens with sitting
- Experience bowel, bladder, or sexual dysfunction without clear cause
- Had temporary relief from a pudendal nerve block
- Were misdiagnosed with IBS, vulvodynia, prostatitis, or other conditions
- Are emotionally and physically ready for surgical recovery
Why is Pudendal Neuralgia Often Misdiagnosed?
Symptoms can mimic gynecologic, urologic, colorectal, or musculoskeletal conditions. Without a nerve-focused evaluation, patients may spend years without answers. Our team specializes in identifying pudendal nerve entrapment through advanced diagnostics and multidisciplinary collaboration—bringing clarity to complex, unresolved pelvic pain cases.
