Chronic pelvic pain can make life hard. It can leave you searching for answers as doctor visits, tests, and treatments offer no relief. For many, the problem hides in a nerve most people don’t even know about the pudendal nerve. Now, we have good news.

Unico Hospitals has performed a Pudendal Nerve MRI, one of the rarest and most advanced scans out there. While many major hospitals in the country refused or claimed they were unable to perform Pudendal Nerve MRIs, Unico Hospitals successfully completed this rare and highly advanced scan. This gives hope for patients looking for clear answers and the right treatment. You no longer need to travel far or settle for guesses.

The Pudendal Nerve: Small, But Powerful

Most people haven’t heard of the pudendal nerve unless something goes wrong. It’s a key nerve that runs from your lower back to your pelvic area. It carries signals related to touch, pleasure, temperature, and pain.


This nerve serves:

  • The penis and scrotum in men
  • The vagina, labia, and vulva in women
  • The perineum, anal canal, anus, and urethra in everyone

When the pudendal nerve works well, you don’t notice it. If it's hurt, daily life can become painful and stressful.

Signs You Shouldn’t Ignore

Pudendal nerve issues can show up in many ways. The symptoms often feel unrelated and can be hard for doctors to link together. Still, they disrupt everyday life.

Common signs include:

Pain:

  • Ongoing pain in your genitals, rectum, anus, or perineum
  • Sharp, burning, stabbing, tingling, or numb feelings

Intimate and Daily Life Issues:

  • Painful sex or trouble reaching orgasm
  • Erectile problems in men
  • Numbness or loss of feeling in the buttocks
  • Pain when going to the bathroom
  • Needing to urinate suddenly
  • A sense of swelling or having a “foreign object” in the pelvis

Simple acts such as sitting or walking might become painful. These problems can make life stressful and impact both physical and emotional health.

Diagnosing Pudendal Neuralgia: Why It’s So Tough

Not many doctors know how to spot pudendal nerve problems right away. The signs are easy to miss or mistake for other issues. That’s why it takes special skill and strong technology to find the real cause.

How do doctors check for pudendal neuralgia?

  • Physical exam: Sometimes through vaginal or rectal checks to see if movement or touch triggers pain.
  • MRI Scan: Shows a clear view of the nerve to find injuries, swelling, or pinched areas.
  • EMG (Electromyography): Checks how well the nerve sends signals.
  • Nerve blocks: Injections that both test and ease pain from the nerve.

The Pudendal Nerve MRI is the best of these options. It gives a detailed, 3D look at the nerve so doctors can pinpoint the problem.

Why Pudendal Nerve MRI Is Rare?

Getting a Pudendal Nerve MRI isn’t easy. You won’t find this scan offered in most hospitals. That’s because it isn’t your everyday imaging test. It needs a special mix of technology, skill, and teamwork—a mix that’s hard to find in one place. For many patients, having to travel to another city or country adds stress, cost, and uncertainty at a time when clear answers are needed most. Here’s why this scan is so hard to get and what sets it apart from regular MRIs:

  • Needs advanced MRI machines that show tiny nerve details
  • Requires expert radiologists who know pelvic nerve imaging
  • Needs special coils and software that many places don’t have
  • Takes long scan times and careful patient positioning
  • Few hospitals train staff to do nerve scans correctly
