Sheryl Posted June 8, 2022 Share Posted June 8, 2022 For what purpose? Usually this is done as an anesthetic during childbirth or certain medical procedures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The suspected diagnoses is "Pudendal neuralgia". A diagnosis step is the pudendal nerve block (a positive effect of anaesthetic infiltration of the pudendal nerve).

A diagnosis step is the pudendal nerve block (a positive effect of anaesthetic infiltration of the pudendal nerve). That is a rare condition (google claims notwitshstanding) and I don't know anyone in Thailand with much experience in treating it. The nerve block per se can be done by an anesthesiologist but would have to be ordered by a doctor who concurs with the differential diagnosis. You might consult this colorectal specialist and discuss with him: https://www.bumrungrad.com/en/doctors/Chucheep-Sahakitrungruang Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CanNot Posted June 8, 2022 Author Share Posted June 8, 2022 Thanks @Sherylfor the pointer! My neurologist suggested the differential diagnostic. He wanted to refer me to a "pain specialist" which can do the procedure. I like to get some research done beforehand as the referred doctor is sometimes hit and miss and afterwards I find out that there might be a better option.
