How long does recovery from pudendal decompression take? — Checklist

Medically reviewed by Dr Renaud Bollens — Professor of Urology

Checklist

A practical checklist for anyone dealing with pudendal surgery recovery time — what to record, what to ask, and when to escalate.

Wound healing takes weeks; nerve recovery takes months. Many patients notice change between three and twelve months, and improvement can continue into the second year.

Some patients experience a temporary increase in symptoms early in recovery as the nerve regenerates. Knowing this in advance turns an alarming experience into an expected one.

Our follow-up schedule is planned before surgery and delivered remotely for international patients.

Bring your notes to the consultation; a well-documented history shortens the road to a diagnosis considerably.
