Do urologist learn female anatomy?my uro treats chronic pelvic pain & giving me a pudandal nerve block i want to make sure he knows what he is doing

Pudendal block: It is uncommon to give pudendal blocks for pelvic pain in women. First of all, the pain may be coming from ovarian or uterine origin. At 23, you should see an ob/gyn to make sure of the cause, before consenting to have a nerve block which may not be necessary at all.
