How long does recovery from pudendal decompression take? — United States focus

Medically reviewed by Dr Renaud Bollens — Professor of Urology

United States focus

What patients in the United States should know about pudendal surgery recovery time, and how care abroad fits alongside care at home.

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.

US patients keep their local physician in the loop throughout; we share our written opinion with them directly on request.
