Can pudendal nerve pain come and go?

I've been experiencing this strange pain in my pelvic area, sometimes it's there for days, then it vanishes, only to return later. My doctor mentioned pudendal nerve issues. Is it typical for pudendal nerve pain to come and go like this?

Yes, nerve pain can absolutely be intermittent. Pudendal nerve pain often flares up with sitting or specific movements and then goes away completely when you stand or rest. Get a proper clinical evaluation from a neurologist or pelvic pain specialist instead of waiting it out.

Beta, nerve pains are very unpredictable and can easily come and go based on how you sit, stand, or sleep. Using a soft cushion while sitting and avoiding hard chairs can help keep the area relaxed. However, you must show this to a proper doctor for correct guidance.

Please get this checked by a specialist soon. I used to ignore my pelvic pain because it would come and go, thinking it was just a temporary muscle pull, and it eventually became a constant, severe problem. Don't make the mistake of waiting until the pain becomes permanent.

Oh man, that unpredictable nerve pain is the absolute worst, especially when it ruins a good dinner outing because you can't sit comfortably! It definitely comes and goes depending on your posture and how long you sit. Definitely consult a doc to get it sorted so you can enjoy your life in comfort.

Dealing with chronic issues has taught me that nerve sensations can be highly erratic and fluctuate. Pudendal nerve irritation can definitely flare up and then subside depending on pelvic alignment and internal inflammation. Keep a regular track of what triggers it and follow up closely with your doctor.
