Featured Content: Pudendal Nerve Entrapment
It's a condition that often is too embarrassing for patients to bring up with their physicians. Numbness or even pain involving the area between the legs - the perineum. Often the patient's genitals are affected, while others experience the pain or numbness on the inside of the thigh.
These symptoms often point to a common yet elusive condition: pudendal nerve entrapment.
Overall, the surgical treatments for pudendal nerve entrapment syndrome at the Institute for Nerve Medicine are new and quite different than those offered elsewhere. Dr. Aaron Filler's success rates are 85-90% good to excellent - far exceeding the uncertain outcomes of older types of pudendal nerve surgery. Many patients can expect significant or complete relief of symptoms from effective treatment - often within days of the surgery.
