Query - pelvic nerve damageFrom: Mandy (anonymous@obgyn.net)Sat, 30 Sep 2000 03:12:36 -0500 (CDT)
Over 8 years ago I had a traumatic delivery of my firstborn. This ended with a major left lateral episiotomy cutting through the pelvic floor muscles. Afterwards I was aware that the left pelvic floor muscle was not working. 18 months later I found a competent gynae who prescribed electrical stimulation of the pelvic floor. This worked and once again I had full muscle control. After normal birth of my second child muscle control of the left side has gone again. RESULT - one pretty fed-up female. In addition a certain amount of sensation on left vagina has also disappeared. Treatment so far. 1. Condescending treatment by a gynaecologist who put my reactions down to PNI and being female (???!!!!). 2.Visits to a physio with interest in incontinence. Her prescription of electrical stimulation of muscles plus biofeedback gave no results and SHE gave up. 3. My purchasing an expensive electrostumulation machine. After 6 months no result. Am about to see another gynae and would appreciate some INTELLIGENT guidance as to 1. Am I talking about the correct nerve? 2. Any other questions I should be asking?
