Pudendal Nerve Blocks in Leamington Spa

Pudendal neuralgia is nerve pain felt between the legs, in the perineum, genitals, or back passage, caused by irritation or entrapment of the pudendal nerve as it passes through the pelvis. It affects both men and women, and the pain is typically burning or shooting in nature, and classically worse when sitting, easing when standing or lying down.

At Renew Skin and Health Clinic in Leamington Spa, pudendal nerve blocks are performed by Mr Amit, Consultant Neurosurgeon, GMC 6047850, priced from £650. No MRI or X-ray scan is required beforehand, since ultrasound guidance is used during the injection itself.

Pudendal neuralgia describes ongoing nerve pain in the area supplied by the pudendal nerve, which runs through the pelvis and supplies sensation to the perineum, genitals, and back passage. It is often missed or mistaken for other conditions for years, since the symptoms can overlap with several other causes of pelvic pain, which is why a specific, careful assessment matters.

Pudendal neuralgia affects both men and women. It is sometimes assumed to be a condition that only affects women, but men experience it too, and the assessment and treatment approach is the same regardless.

● Burning, shooting, or aching pain in the perineum, genitals, or back passage
● Pain worse when sitting, easing when standing or lying down
● Pain that can extend into the hip or lower abdomen
● A sensation of swelling or a foreign body in the area, without any visible cause
● Symptoms that have often been present for months or years before a clear diagnosis is reached

If you are looking for information about persistent pelvic or genital pain, it may be helpful to understand the symptoms and causes of pudendal nerve entrapment and when to consider treatment.

● Prolonged sitting or cycling, which can irritate the nerve over time
● Childbirth
● A pelvic injury or previous pelvic surgery
● Entrapment of the nerve as it passes through the surrounding muscles and ligaments in the pelvis

No MRI or X-ray scan is required before this treatment. Mr Amit uses real time ultrasound guidance to see the pudendal nerve directly and place the injection accurately. The injection combines local anaesthetic with an anti inflammatory medication, and can both confirm the pudendal nerve as the source of your pain and treat it.

We understand this is a sensitive area to discuss and be examined in. A chaperone is present throughout every appointment, and Mr Amit will discuss the procedure and answer any questions fully before asking for your consent to proceed. You are welcome to ask for anything to be explained again, or to pause at any point.

This treatment may not be suitable if you have any of the following. Your consultant will discuss this with you at your assessment.

● An active infection, at the injection site or elsewhere in the body
● You are taking blood thinning medication, until this has been discussed and a plan agreed
● A known allergy to local anaesthetic or steroid
● You are pregnant
● Poorly controlled diabetes, since a steroid injection can raise blood sugar for a few days

You may notice temporary numbness or a heavy feeling in the leg on the treated side for a few hours afterwards, so please arrange for someone to drive you home. If the block provides good but temporary relief, this may need to be repeated, or your consultant may discuss onward treatment options, which can sometimes involve a referral to a hospital based specialist service.

Pain procedures are not guaranteed to work. Most patients get meaningful relief, but a small number get little or no benefit, and how long the relief lasts varies from person to person. Mr Amit will explain what to realistically expect in your case before you decide.

All prices at Renew Skin and Health Clinic are transparent and all inclusive, with appointments available within two weeks, a free follow up review, and every procedure performed by an experienced consultant.

Included: the consultation, the injection itself under ultrasound guidance, and a written report.

Not included: MRI or X-ray scans, which are not required for this treatment, and any take home medicines or private prescriptions.
