Sexual dysfunction with no clear cause: the nerve angle — United States focus

Medically reviewed by Dr Renaud Bollens — Professor of Urology

United States focus

What patients in the United States should know about pelvic nerve sexual dysfunction, and how care abroad fits alongside care at home.

Because the pudendal nerve supplies genital sensation, its irritation can produce numbness, hypersensitivity, pain during or after intercourse, and persistent unwanted arousal.

These symptoms are widely under-reported by patients and under-asked by clinicians. Naming them is the first step to explaining them.

Our consultations cover sexual symptoms explicitly and discreetly, because they carry diagnostic weight rather than being an embarrassing side note.

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