Pelvic pain that started after surgery — Clinical guide

Medically reviewed by Dr Renaud Bollens — Professor of Urology

Clinical guide

A clear clinical guide to post surgical pelvic nerve pain, written for patients in New York and across the United States who are still looking for a straight answer.

Pain that begins after a pelvic operation and does not follow the expected healing curve should raise the question of nerve injury, entrapment in scar tissue or fixation by mesh.

The pattern matters: pain in a nerve territory, triggered by position, with altered sensation, is different from ordinary post-operative soreness.

Dr Bollens assesses post-surgical cases regularly, including patients who have had several operations already. Reviewing operative notes is a standard part of that work-up.

If this describes your situation, a specialist review of post surgical pelvic nerve pain can be arranged remotely from anywhere in the United States.
