Dr. David Sniezek answered

Specializes in Pain Management

Not normal: Persistent perineal pain should be investigated by a specialist to rule out any gynecologic problems. If the condition is thought to be musculoskeletal in nature then a specialist in physical medicine and rehabilitation would be appropriate.
