Patient questions
The questions patients ask us most often about pelvic pain after childbirth — answered directly, without hedging.
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.
