The International
Pudendal Neuropathy Association
(TIPNA)
Do you have pain in your genital area, rectum, perineum, or anywhere in your sitting area? Is it made worse by sitting? Is the pain getting worse no matter what you do? Have you been running around for a long time from doctor to doctor, and none of them can figure out what your problem is? If you can answer "yes" to some or all of these questions, then you may have come to the right place.
Pudendal Information:
This is a support community for those suffering from Pudendal Neuropathy (PN). The pudendal nerve carries sensations from the external genitals, the lower rectum, and the perineum (the area between the genitals and the rectum). Neuropathy is nerve damage or disease, so PN can cause symptoms in any of these areas. The chief symptom is usually pain while sitting.
