What causes ilioinguinal nerve pain?

Post by Farce6537 »

I have a tight pelvic floor and pudental neuralgia symptoms. I’ve had this for 3 years. Since May, I’ve experienced itching on the bikini area, groin and outer labia. I believe the ilioinguinal nerve is involved here because of the bikini area and groin pain? What could be the cause of this? Does anyone have some insight?

You can read about causes of ilioinguinal neuralgia here: https://www.dovemed.com/health-topics/f ... -treatment.

Have you had a nerve block yet to determine which nerve is the primary culprit?
PNE since 2002. Started from weightlifting. PNE surgery from Dr. Bautrant, Oct 2004. Pain now is usually a 0 and I can sit for hours on certain chairs. No longer take medication for PNE. Can work full time and do "The Firm" exercise program. 99% cured from PGAD. PNE surgery was right for me but it might not be for you. Do your research.

Ilioinguinal nerve pain can have different causes, including nerve irritation, compression, injury, or pelvic-related issues. It’s good to get a proper evaluation to identify the exact nerve involved. A nerve block or specialist assessment may help confirm the source of pain.
