_______________________ Symptoms A common symptom of pudendal neuralgia is urogenital burning. The pain is increased with sitting and somewhat decreased with standing. Many patients have altered skin sensitivity (both hypo- and hypersensitivity) in the distribution of PN: the genitals, perineum, distal one third of the urethra and the rectum. Due to the vast distribution of this nerve, one, some or all branches of the nerve may be involved and subsequent symptoms will result: · Urinary hesitancy, urgency, frequency, burning · Perineal and/or genital pain · Pain during and/or after bowel movement · Pain during and/or after intercourse · Urinary and/or fecal incontinence. Men with so-called “abacterial prostatitis” or “prostatodynia” may indeed have Pudendal Neuralgia. _______________________ |
