    Female pelvic pain, hernia?

    Clitoral pain is not usually hernia-related. It is more consistent with pudendal neuralgia, which is a very difficult diagnosis to make and treat as there are very few specialists in the nation. Michael Hibner in Arizona is the nation’s leading expert.

    Alternatively, labial burning without clitoral involvement can be due to a small hernia. This is due to irritation of the ilioinguinal nerve by the small hernia. A hernia specialist, especially one who is aware of the concept of occult inguinal hernias, can help rule this out. MRI pelvis with valsalva or a well done hernia ultrasound will help rule this out.

    Reach out to Dr Matt Morgan in Pella, Iowa. Also Dr Luis Jose Garcia at University of Iowa. They are both savvy hernia specialists that may help you.

    Gynecologist a who specialize in vulvodynia may also be helpful to determine causes.
