Summary Chronic pain syndrome is a severe condition that has been recently recognized, and many methods for treating it have been developed. We present a case of using a pudendal nerve block for treating chronic pain after Bartholin cyst removal. A 46-year-old female presented with chronic pain syndrome, lasting eight months following Bartholin cyst removal. Treatment with non-steroid anti-inflammatory drugs and opioids was unsuccessful, and pudendal nerve block was performed with dexamethasone and ropivacaine. The follow-up continued for a year, and no pain was reported. In cases of pudendal neuralgia, a peripheral pudendal nerve block is effective. Chronic pain syndrome is a complex problem, and a multidisciplinary approach is often required. This case represents the efficacy of pudendal nerve block in chronic pain syndrome after Bartholin cyst removal. |
