Chronic pelvic neuropathic pain is not simply a physical condition. It is an invisible weight that settles on every part of a woman’s life — her emotions, her relationships, her family, her work, her future. Many women describe their daily reality as living inside a body that no longer belongs to them, trapped in pain that outsiders cannot see, understand, or explain. And too often, they hear that their symptoms are “psychological,” when in truth the psychological suffering i

For decades, endometriosis was a largely misunderstood condition. Thirty years ago, it was often dismissed as nothing more than “painful periods,” and countless women were told their suffering was normal or psychological. Thankfully, the last 20 years have transformed this landscape. Increased awareness, driven by the internet, patient advocacy groups, and committed medical professionals worldwide, has turned endometriosis into a widely recognized and legitimate disease that

For many patients, pelvic pain or pelvic dysfunction becomes a long and exhausting journey. They move from one specialist to another - orthopedists, gynecologists, urologists, gastroenterologists, neurologists - and yet receive no clear explanation.

The LION procedure (Laparoscopic Implantation Of Neuroprosthesis) is a minimally invasive operation that places stimulation electrodes directly on the pelvic nerves – mainly the sciatic, femoral, pudendal and sacral nerves – using laparoscopy. These nerves are the “final common pathway” from the spinal cord to the leg muscles and pelvic organs. By stimulating them continuously with low-frequency electrical impulses and combining this with intens

Why Every Woman Deserves a Neuropelveological Diagnosis For countless women, pelvic pain becomes a long, exhausting journey through different specialties, repeated examinations, many labels and, all too often, the feeling of not being understood. Many receive diagnoses such as endometriosis, interstitial cystitis, vulvodynia, coccygodynia, pelvic floor tension or simply “psychosomatic pain.” These labels describe symptoms but rarely explain why  the pain exists, how it behav

Neuropelveology is a modern medical discipline dedicated to understanding, diagnosing, and treating disorders of the pelvic nerves. These nerves control essential functions such as bladder control, bowel movements, sexual function, and the movement or sensation of the legs. When they are irritated, compressed, or injured, patients may experience a wide range of symptoms that often seem unrelated at first - urological, gynecological, colorectal, orthopedic, or purely neurologi
