New York
Pelvic and perineal pain that persists after childbirth, seen through the experience of patients in New York, where sitting, commuting and desk work dominate the day.
Stretch injury to the pudendal nerve during delivery is well described. Pain that persists beyond the normal recovery period, particularly with burning or numbness, should be assessed as nerve pain.
Mothers are frequently told to wait. Waiting is reasonable for months, not for years.
A structured review can end that uncertainty quickly, one way or the other.
Video consultations are scheduled for Eastern Time so New York patients do not need to take a day off to be assessed.
