Pudendal neuralgia (PN) is a chronic neuropathic pain, aggravated by sitting and for which no organic cause can be found by imaging studies. It is often associated with pelvic dysfunction.
Features include very common findings: Allodynia, Dyspareunia, Scrotal pain, and Vulvodynia and others; and common findings: Pelvic pain, Buttock pain, and Vaginal foreign body sensation.
