ABSTRACT
Chronic pelvic pain is a common cause of pain in reproductive age women with debilitating consequences for affected women's health and quality of life. Treatment providers must be well versed in all treatment options for these patients, understanding the overlap in the management and treatment of chronic pelvic pain caused by pudendal neuralgia, myofascial pelvic pain, and vulvodynia. Pudendal blocks are a simple and quick procedure that can be performed in the office and often helps improve all the above conditions when used along with other treatment options. We review the anatomy and methodology on when and how to perform pudendal blocks in the office to better inform the general gynecologist on how to implement offering this treatment in the outpatient clinical setting.
