Yea, as a speciality they are generally not interested, look at the number of men that are misdiagnosed with prostatitis. It’s their favourite diagnosis when they don’t have a clue.

What I find really interesting is that some of the PN surgeons are peripheral nerve surgeons and that their specialism is a sub speciality of plastic surgery. I would have never have guessed plastics.

That's pretty incredible that we don't know of one andrologist who treats men with pudendal neuralgia. Especially given the definition of andrology in wikipedia.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andrology

Andrology (from Ancient Greek: ἀνήρ, anēr, genitive ἀνδρός, andros 'man' and -λογία, -logia) is a name for the medical specialty that deals with male health, particularly relating to the problems of the male reproductive system and urological problems that are unique to men.

If I remember correctly, Dr. Antolak was a urologist, but he was one of a kind -- one of the earliest pioneers in treating PNE in this country.
