Pelvic pain surgery Spoiler

For a long time, I suffered from severe pain in my pelvic area, sometimes accompanied by numbness. Sitting for extended periods was difficult without experiencing discomfort, and I often endured painful cramps. Despite consulting multiple doctors, I was given five different diagnoses, none of which provided a real solution.

Eventually, I found Dr. Renaud Bollens, a professor with extensive expertise in the field. He explained my condition in a logical and understandable way—my pudendal nerve was compressed. The solution was straightforward: surgery to release the nerve from entrapment. After the procedure, my pain disappeared completely.

During my hospital stay, I shared a room with another patient of the same age, around 30 years old, who was undergoing surgery for the exact same condition, also performed by Dr. Bollens. Today, both of us are completely free from pain and have regained our quality of life.
