I've been dealing with this issue for 1 year and 6 months. I can't find my initial comment from 6 months ago, so I will write a new one, as I have an update. Back then I mentioned that last year (2023) these exercises caused triggers for me, which caused burning sensation. I had also mentioned that I started using a tennisball sized cork ball which made a big difference. Since April I also went to physical therapy and my therapist is specialized in pelvic floor issues. She basically goes internal to give relief to what causes the nerve pain, but I want to stress that the most helpful were cork ball exercises that I developed for myself: I sat on the ground, lifted myself up and moved one side of butt cheeks over the cork ball, and basically massaged the areas deep in the tissue that hurt the most. When the left cheek was massaged, my left leg was placed over my right leg to expose the muscles more to the cork ball. After a while I did the same on the other side but switched legs. After that, I got up and just jumped up and down to get the blood flow through all of that. It immediately relieved the tingling, itching or burning sensation. I kept doing this everyday for 5 months. Recently (May 2024) I also joined a gym and I go there twice a week to exercise my butt muscles. Today June 30th my symptoms are so minimal, life is as good as back to normal, I'm sure if I just keep doing this they will be gone for good. The cause for me was straining the butt muscles over a long period of time while working on a laptop, without any exercise. To whoever will read this, I hope my experience will help you get well again, too.
I’ve been in horrific pain for two years to the point where I was ready to give up. After using the tennis ball it’s gone. I’m crying right now from relief. I know it may come back but I know what to do from now on. Thank you so so so so so so so much. ❤️
@@samstits8982 I am researching this topic right now after thinking my issue was something else. Pudendal nerve issues are closely related to other issues so we'll see. Not many doctors are experts in this field but if at some point you need more relief, I found 2 dr's- one's in Seattle, WA and the other is in Fort Meyers, FL. I may be taking a road trip.
Wow... 3 minutes in and my pain is completely gone. Thank you so much! The pain is so much worse than labor pain. I just gave birth almost 2 months ago
I am currently seeing my GP for symptoms of pressure/numbness in my pelvic floor, amongst other related issues. I have just done this stretching routine for the first time. It seems to have relieved almost all of my symptoms of pressure/numbness in my pelvic floor and sitz bones. I thank you through teared eyes and will do this every day from now on X
Helpful! My insurer cut off my pelvic floor physical therapy visits, so I'm continuing her HEP as well as adding some of these. Thank you for sharing this.
I had this video recommended by my pelvic floor physiotherapist and very satisfied that it was. The whole manner of its presentation made me feel relaxed and no pressure to do more than was comffortable. Thankyou!
For the first time in almost a year of having pudendal neuralgia in starting to feel a difference in my pain. 4.5 months of pelvic floor therapy that they were trying to strengthen my pelvic floor I now know they were not doing their job correctly for me. Thank you for all your help. I finally feel like there is hope this will get better!!!
So glad you are starting to feel like there is hope. So much that can be done besides just doing kegels. Breath & posture are key with this. Keep up the good work!
How is your pain now? My clitoris has been aching for months. It does seem to stop at night during sleep, then starts again through the day. I just saw this video.
your gentle voice and these pelvic opening exercises and holds had me in tears most of the session, haven't been able to cry on my mat for a bit, so thank you. recently had hemorrhoid surgery but realizing what I have I also have is neuralgia, so exhausted from being in constant pain all year. these exercises helped to release some pain, tension, and trauma.
You are welcome 💕 Glad you found these gentle exercises helpful. Using our breathing and nerve glides are a great way to help calm our nerves & nervous system.
Ive been realizing just how interconnected everything is, but after doing the tennis ball press, a ton of my lower back pain has lessened. Ive had lower back pain and sensitivity for years. My hips hurt so much less too. Im becoming aware of pain I didnt know I had. Thank you so much.
Great job with the awareness piece and checking in with your body. So key! So glad to hear that you found the tennis ball helpful! Keep up the good work!

I had a DaVinci hysterectomy which went a bit haywire. I was having difficulty prior to that surgery.. The pain when I evacuate my bowels is unbearable. I finally had to go out on disability. I've had 2 lower back and one neck. After my DaVinci I became so electronical I ended up in the emergency room. I finally was diagnosed with caudia equida syndrome and purdendal neuralgia. I do have pelvic therapy and tried everything. I found PT has helped, however my bowels and bladder are effected. What a wonderful video to stumble on.
Hi Lisa! So awesome that you are in pelvic floor PT to help and that you enjoyed this video! Our pelvic floor and back are all connected and just by using the power of our breath can make such a difference in how we are feeling. Keep up the good work💕
@@DrMelissaOleson you are correct, I found it does help. I'm going to try to take time for myself (unselfishly) and try to meditate.. although I have major pain and underlying health issues, I keep trying to stay positive! Everything I believe happens for a reason. I try and get up with a smile and do what I can... keep up the wonderful videos. I lost 4 family members over COVID not from COVID. One was my husband of 32 years. My mind and heart want to run around but my body is saying slow down. I try not to complain and keep trying. Pelvic therapy was big in Europe, I'm just happy it's finally being recognized in the US.
@@lisamarion8218 Love that you are taking time for yourself. Something we all should be adding into our routines & one I am working on this year too! I couldn't agree more about pelvic health. Hopefully the word continues to spread and more and more people will know about pelvic health and that there is so much more to do to help than just kegels! Sorry to hear of your losses. You are doing great and keep at it. Please let me know if there is a video you would like to see more of. We love creating content people want to see 💕💕
Going on 6 years with rectal pain, I've had such a hard time. Colostomy, and reversed when it didn't work, nerve stimulator implant that I had to turn down due to all my lady parts vibrating. I get shots 7-8, 4 outside and 4 inside vaginally wall. I have to have these frequently, and omg they hurt. I do pray your workout helps. I'm very tired. I also have Trigeminal neuralgia which was a nightmare to do and treatment failure after brain surgery. I'm doctor tired and have been too close to giving up especially with this pain in my rectum everything I poop. Feels like someone's trying to pull it out. This took me out of my love job of being a RN. Please anything that you can do to help me, please. Thank you
I had pain in the lower abdomen, hips, groin, vagina, inner thighs and legs I did colonoscopy, ultrasound and clinical examinations to rule out other causes My pain is terrible and cannot be understood by anyone, I searched on the internet myself and found all the symptoms of this syndrome according to my physical condition. I try to do the exercises, I have been in pain for 40 days I hope the problem will be solved Thanks for your video🙏🏻♥️
Thank you so much for this video! I felt so good after following along ❤ how often should those exercises be done? Since it‘s about the nerve I can imagine there is not only a not often enough but also a too much. Thank you so much for bringing out great content over and over again 🫶🏼
Hello, I dont have a free wall to do the 11:04 exercise so can i do it on my bed(the bed is against the wall), I'm doing this question cuz I have back problems I dont want to make them worse
Great question! There are a couple of ways to modify this exercise you can do it laying on ground and place your legs on chair or couch (the knees would be bent) or do it laying in bed up against a wall works too.
I really hope this can help me because I've had this condition for almost a year and it's caused me a lot of stress and it's made me want to give up on life. I just hope this can help it go away eventually
You are welcome! So glad you enjoyed this one! Everyone is different so listening to your body is key! Some do this daily, some every couple, and some as needed 💗
I have the pain of the pudendal nerve for two years nothing has helped me until I found you,I have only been doing your yoga for two days and I fell much better than you🥰
@@DrMelissaOleson thank you Dr Melissa ❤️ it's just hard having this pain everyday and feeling like nothing helps, not knowing if it's ever going to end :(
Hi Dr Melissa, I have pudendal neurgia and have suffered for 12 years now. Nothing has provided relief other than some from chiropractic care. I'm interested in starting your videos but I have a problem. I can not get on the floor because getting back up causes terrible pain to my pudendal nerve. Most pain is in the base of my tailbone. Can I do these laying on my bed? It seems it's too soft to get the right position. Any other recommendations would be greatly appreciated! Thank you so much for your time, Lacey
Hi Lacey! Yes these exercises absolutely can be done in bed as a way to modify. Sometimes placing a pillow under the tailbone can also help. Breathing is key with these exercises. Keep up the good work 💕
Glad you enjoyed. Over stretching any nerve can further irritate the nerve. That is why using nerve glides to move in and out just feeling a gentle pull and using your breath is key. Listen to you body and be gentle.
bonjour et merci pour vos exercices, je suis atteinte de névralgies pudendales. il y a t-il une version en langue francaise. bien cordialement. Nadia-Reine
Please guide me for the right excercise for penile nerve damage, I have been taking medicines after consulting urologist quite relieved now but I genuinely think excercise can definitely add up to the relief to control pain and spasm in genital region, please guide me I will be grateful
Hi there I have had pain on my sit bone and shooting pains around my groin. I’ve found your breathing exercises useful although I still struggle to sit down. I have been to have an ultrasound and they said it’s high hamstring tendinopathy. Could that trap the pudendal nerve? And which of your videos would help the most do you think?
So happy to hear you found this video helpful! We have other pudendal nerve videos as well as a hamstring nerve glide video here ruclips.net/video/fL021erEQu0/видео.html Keep up the good work!
Are these exercises safe for people with lower back disc problems? My spinal doctor/physiotherapist has had me doing extension exercises (McKenzie Method), not flexion exercises. Will these flexion exercises you recommend be okay for me? My pudendal nerve pain is bad and I need relief from the constant burning. Thank you!
the tennis ball exercise hurts so much it presses down on the nerve on my stomach and hurts my vulval area. is it supposed to hurt and what nerve is that
Is it any exercises people could do to use eregy with out getting a flair up. If i try to walk for just 10 mi it flaired up and than is on very bad for 7ndays 24/7 for and after that the pain go back to just pain and that the pains I cant sit ether and dont know anyone where i have moved here so is nothing to do but laying in bed and i get very bad anxiey as a reaction as the nerve pain trigger and is always sp and i am alone dont know people here.😊
Will purdenal nerve pain affect the area where my appendix was. It was removed 40+ years ago. But now pain is there and also below belly buton into groin area.
It's all about how you are doing the exercises and what you are feeling. It's about getting to the root cause. Breathing and posture are key. Some do these exercises daily, some every couple days, and some when needed.
Enjoyed and added to my routine. Thank you 🙏🏼 Just a request is it possible to tone down the volume a notch, I get so easy distracted by loudness instead your beautiful soft voice . Namaste
I have UTI like symptoms - urge to urinate, burning sensation, spasms and tingling in my genitals. Do you think that these would help? How many times a day should I do these? And how long before I will see any improvements?
With exercises it's all about listening to your body with what is best for you! Some do these daily some do every couple days, some when needed. I recommend focusing on what you are feeling while doing the exercises and how you are doing them more than number of reps. Breathing is key with these exercises.
same here and it's been over 7 years living like this. Always feels like a UTI, but it never is. Doctors can't figure it out. I feel hopeless at times.
@@inthekitchen8842 same to you 🙏🏽. Pelvic floor therapy has helped me a bit in the last couple of months along with these exercises. She does manual therapy and stem therapy. Sigh....
@@helento1270 I have found some relief also by rubbing a pain relieving cream on my low back area. I think alit of us hold our stress in these pelvic areas. Good luck to you. Keep trying.
Hi, I was wondering if you could with an issue I have. I’m very flexible, so when I’m stretching against the wall, I feel a little tightness in my inner thighs. But I also feel strong tension in what I think is a muscle (below my hip bone and a little bit towards the groin, I can feel its tightness with my hand). And when I lie against the wall for a while, these muscles get tight and I can’t lift my legs back so I need to lift them with my hands. I don’t know if it’s tight hip abductors or psoas or something else, but I feel like it’s contributing to my pelvic floor issues too. I used to be able to do splits and I only developed this tightness a couple of years, I think from sitting cross legged at my desk job. Sorry for the long post but I was wondering if you could tell what the issue might be? Thank you
Hi there! I always recommend seeing your healthcare provider for what is best for you. Sitting a lot can create tension and tightness as well as not having an optimized core and pelvic floor system. Breathing and posture are 2 keys for this and can contribute to tension and tightness.
I am Ilir, I really like your videos, I have pain in my penis and the lower part of my abdomen, I have been to different urologists, they have diagnosed me with chronic pain in the pelvic muscles. They sent me to physiotherapy for pelvic muscles. It helped me get rid of the pain in my penis, but I still have a problem with erection and numbness in my penis, I can't feel the touch. Now I have started doing your exercises for 2 days, it has helped me and I feel very good! What else did you suggest I do?❤❤❤
Great questions! No holding your breath in between. Inhale diaphragm is descending and lengthening pelvic floor muscles and exhale contracting and lifting pelvic floor back up. It’s constant movement with the breath in and out.
I have a testicular pain ,, for more than 1 years,,, i consult urologist but they found nothing in test, so they give me scrotal support ,, but but my pain not reduced ,, so can I try this exercises
@@DrMelissaOleson thank you so much! I'm trying to find relief from pudendal neuralgial. Your stretches are bringing some small periods of relief! 4.5 months of pelvic floor therapy that didn't help, actually made things worse. I now know she had me doing core and pelvic floor strengthing. Thank you so much for giving me some hope again!
@@krish.7304 You are welcome! Happy to hear these exercises are giving you some relief! Breathing with these exercises can also be really helpful. Keep up the good work!
@@DrMelissaOleson I'm working on getting my breathing down. Yesterday was the first time after 4 days of doing your stretches that I could really feel the difference with the breathing. I also felt a release in my pelvic floor for the first time! I was so excited I cried! Thank you so much for all the hope you are giving me!
How many times a day can I do these exercises? Not sure if pudendal, obturator or sacral nerves. Seeing pelvic floor PT. Having mri 5/24. They do seem to be helping with sitting more comfortable. If there are any other yoga stretches please advise. I had an anterior hip replacement 4 1/2 months ago.
So awesome you are seeing a pelvic floor PT so helpful for what is best for you! I always recommend checking in with you healthcare provider for what is best for you and listening to your body. Being careful to not over do with the exercises so of my clients do these 1x a day some 2x day some every couple days every body is different. We do have another yoga for pudendal nerve on our channel you might enjoy as well 💜
Can pudendal narulgia give you rectal pain? I have seen doc tell me nothing scary is going on I’m a shallow breather and anxious person for sure but this pain is real bad how long do you recommend I do this routine once a day or take what I learned and do it for longer durations thanks god bless
Really great question and so glad to hear you checked in with your doctor, so important! Yes some people can have rectal pain caused from pudenal nerve irritation. Everyone is different in what exercises and how often so listening to your body is best. These exercises coupled with your breathing can be done daily, some people find every other day, and some find a few times a day helpful. It's important to not over stretch and be very gentle and continue to keep listening to your body. Keep up the good work 💕
Thank you for your feedback! We have lots of other videos on our channel and there is always ways to modify so exercises work best for that individual💜
We also have other videos for pudendal neuralgia on our channel and a video for ED ruclips.net/video/4Zj9CIMtiP4/видео.html that you might find helpful
For four years I have been suffering from a problem in the perineum To this day, I have not got rid of this problem I hope someone who has been able to get rid of this problem can explain to me how to fix it
Thank you for these exercises but what if the pain is always in your butt cheek and groin vagina area? Would the golf ball still work to relive the back side groin vag area pain because I never have pain in the front. How do I relive that left butt cheeks pain and groin vagina pain? Thanks.
There are so many things that could be the root cause so seeing your healthcare provider for what is best for you. We do have a several videos on buttock pain and groin pain you might enjoy on our channel ruclips.net/video/SaANZsFpxyM/видео.htmlsi=5vU_pQ_AvzvJhGRE
Hi Dr. Melissa I wanted to ask you if you could put together a class on how to do abdominal breathing while laying down and also a yoga class for better sleep. Please let me know if this is within your scope of accomplishment. Thank you. My name is Zachary.

I FROM INDIA I M SUFFERING LIKE PUDENDAL NERVE BLOCK I HAVE BURNING ITCHING SHOOTING HAVE TOO MUCH PAIN HOW MANY DAYS DOING THIS EXERCISES TO START PAIN RELIF
I've had it for 22 years. I gave up a sitting job and started walking regularly, and that helped a bit, but it still causes problems. I tried acupuncture, injections, read a few books about pain management, self-hypnosis, but they didn't help. I DO however think it can be self-caused, perhaps your body created it to avoid doing things, and could be tied to anxiety (John Sarno did an interesting book about this). It could also be trigger points. There is some stuff on the internet about all these things.
I don't know for sure what I'm suffering from but it feels like it was a pudental nerve pain .....I've pain in both the sides of my pelvic bone n the nerves felt like shooting something n it makes me discomfort ...can I please know whether that's a pudental nerve problem? And does it go away without medical treatment? Please help me
It's best and I recommend following up with your healthcare provider so they can treat your specific needs. In general, these gentle stretches and breathing can help with pudendal neuralgia and tight pelvic floor muscles.
Hi Doctor, I had a fall 3 months ago. After a couple of days, I had a fever which lasted a week. And I felt discomfort burning sensation on my testicles, inner thighs, and anus. I also noticed the vein on my head of penis is very obvious and feeling a little swollen. Now, the feeling just comes and goes. I also have a very sore back pain as well as knee pain. May I know what condition am I having? I'm feel very lost and depressed.. 😢

Hi Lisa! So awesome that you are in pelvic floor PT to help and that you enjoyed this video! Our pelvic floor and back are all connected and just by using the power of our breath can make such a difference in how we are feeling. Keep up the good work💕
@@DrMelissaOleson you are correct, I found it does help. I'm going to try to take time for myself (unselfishly) and try to meditate.. although I have major pain and underlying health issues, I keep trying to stay positive! Everything I believe happens for a reason. I try and get up with a smile and do what I can... keep up the wonderful videos. I lost 4 family members over COVID not from COVID. One was my husband of 32 years. My mind and heart want to run around but my body is saying slow down. I try not to complain and keep trying. Pelvic therapy was big in Europe, I'm just happy it's finally being recognized in the US.
@@lisamarion8218 Love that you are taking time for yourself. Something we all should be adding into our routines & one I am working on this year too! I couldn't agree more about pelvic health. Hopefully the word continues to spread and more and more people will know about pelvic health and that there is so much more to do to help than just kegels! Sorry to hear of your losses. You are doing great and keep at it. Please let me know if there is a video you would like to see more of. We love creating content people want to see 💕💕
Going on 6 years with rectal pain, I've had such a hard time. Colostomy, and reversed when it didn't work, nerve stimulator implant that I had to turn down due to all my lady parts vibrating. I get shots 7-8, 4 outside and 4 inside vaginally wall. I have to have these frequently, and omg they hurt. I do pray your workout helps. I'm very tired.
I also have Trigeminal neuralgia which was a nightmare to do and treatment failure after brain surgery. I'm doctor tired and have been too close to giving up especially with this pain in my rectum everything I poop. Feels like someone's trying to pull it out. This took me out of my love job of being a RN. Please anything that you can do to help me, please. Thank you
The wall one is amazing! Felt so much relief😍
Love it! So glad you enjoyed! Keep up the good work!
Thanks Melissa this short
practice was helpful. 👍
Awesome! So glad you found these exercises helpful! Keep up the great work!
I had pain in the lower abdomen, hips, groin, vagina, inner thighs and legs
I did colonoscopy, ultrasound and clinical examinations to rule out other causes
My pain is terrible and cannot be understood by anyone, I searched on the internet myself and found all the symptoms of this syndrome according to my physical condition.
I try to do the exercises, I have been in pain for 40 days
I hope the problem will be solved
Thanks for your video🙏🏻♥️
Did you get relief!!

Hello, I dont have a free wall to do the 11:04 exercise so can i do it on my bed(the bed is against the wall), I'm doing this question cuz I have back problems I dont want to make them worse
Great question! There are a couple of ways to modify this exercise you can do it laying on ground and place your legs on chair or couch (the knees would be bent) or do it laying in bed up against a wall works too.
@@DrMelissaOleson Than you^^
@@kratosXD23 you're welcome!
Very informative
Glad to hear you enjoyed the information!
Thanks❤
You are welcome!
I really hope this can help me because I've had this condition for almost a year and it's caused me a lot of stress and it's made me want to give up on life. I just hope this can help it go away eventually
The most important thing is listening to your body & breathing 💕
@@DrMelissaOleson well unless that's going to help me actually get rid of this condition it's not going to make a difference

It works temporarily for me, i think... Right after exercising it feels a bit better. I hope it can work long feem.
Keep working hard - consistency is key for lasting relief. 💕

Awesome, glad you enjoyed this video! Keep up the great work!
Hi Dr Melissa, I have pudendal neurgia and have suffered for 12 years now. Nothing has provided relief other than some from chiropractic care. I'm interested in starting your videos but I have a problem. I can not get on the floor because getting back up causes terrible pain to my pudendal nerve. Most pain is in the base of my tailbone. Can I do these laying on my bed? It seems it's too soft to get the right position. Any other recommendations would be greatly appreciated! Thank you so much for your time, Lacey
Hi Lacey! Yes these exercises absolutely can be done in bed as a way to modify. Sometimes placing a pillow under the tailbone can also help. Breathing is key with these exercises. Keep up the good work 💕
These are really good stretches. I understand that stretching your hamstrings can aggravate an already bothered pudendal nerve. Is that right?
Glad you enjoyed. Over stretching any nerve can further irritate the nerve. That is why using nerve glides to move in and out just feeling a gentle pull and using your breath is key. Listen to you body and be gentle.
bonjour et merci pour vos exercices, je suis atteinte de névralgies pudendales. il y a t-il une version en langue francaise.
bien cordialement. Nadia-Reine
Please guide me for the right excercise for penile nerve damage, I have been taking medicines after consulting urologist quite relieved now but I genuinely think excercise can definitely add up to the relief to control pain and spasm in genital region, please guide me I will be grateful
Hi there I have had pain on my sit bone and shooting pains around my groin. I’ve found your breathing exercises useful although I still struggle to sit down. I have been to have an ultrasound and they said it’s high hamstring tendinopathy. Could that trap the pudendal nerve? And which of your videos would help the most do you think?
So happy to hear you found this video helpful! We have other pudendal nerve videos as well as a hamstring nerve glide video here ruclips.net/video/fL021erEQu0/видео.html Keep up the good work!
Yassss from a car accident. Fracture pelvic that happened in 2005. Been having problems ever since. Still in physical Therapy now.
How do you feel today with neuralgia symptoms?
Are these exercises safe for people with lower back disc problems? My spinal doctor/physiotherapist has had me doing extension exercises (McKenzie Method), not flexion exercises. Will these flexion exercises you recommend be okay for me? My pudendal nerve pain is bad and I need relief from the constant burning. Thank you!
the tennis ball exercise hurts so much it presses down on the nerve on my stomach and hurts my vulval area. is it supposed to hurt and what nerve is that
Is swimming helpful to release tight pelvic floor? I hv urgency and pelvic pain..I am also doing these stretch es
Is it any exercises people could do to use eregy with out getting a flair up.
If i try to walk for just 10 mi it flaired up and than is on very bad for 7ndays 24/7 for and after that the pain go back to just pain and that the pains
I cant sit ether and dont know anyone where i have moved here so is nothing to do but laying in bed and i get very bad anxiey as a reaction as the nerve pain trigger and is always sp and i am alone dont know people here.😊
Excellent
Glad you enjoyed this class!
Will purdenal nerve pain affect the area where my appendix was. It was removed 40+ years ago. But now pain is there and also below belly buton into groin area.
How do you heal from pudendus nerve damage ?
I have pn how many section to do in day to recover of pn
It's all about how you are doing the exercises and what you are feeling. It's about getting to the root cause. Breathing and posture are key. Some do these exercises daily, some every couple days, and some when needed.
Enjoyed and added to my routine. Thank you 🙏🏼
Just a request is it possible to tone down the volume a notch, I get so easy distracted by loudness instead your beautiful soft voice . Namaste
Amazing! So happy to hear you enjoyed this class! Thank you for your request, yes that is something we can do 😀💕
Hello Doc.
I am from India.
Are these steps for females only or males can also do it
These exercises are for both males and females.
can you help me i have pain in my left testical and doc said its may be cronic neuralgia because of nerve
I have UTI like symptoms - urge to urinate, burning sensation, spasms and tingling in my genitals. Do you think that these would help? How many times a day should I do these? And how long before I will see any improvements?
With exercises it's all about listening to your body with what is best for you! Some do these daily some do every couple days, some when needed. I recommend focusing on what you are feeling while doing the exercises and how you are doing them more than number of reps. Breathing is key with these exercises.
same here and it's been over 7 years living like this. Always feels like a UTI, but it never is. Doctors can't figure it out. I feel hopeless at times.
@@helento1270I'm having the same feelings. I'm going to try these exercises though! Good luck to you.
@@inthekitchen8842 same to you 🙏🏽. Pelvic floor therapy has helped me a bit in the last couple of months along with these exercises. She does manual therapy and stem therapy. Sigh....
@@helento1270 I have found some relief also by rubbing a pain relieving cream on my low back area. I think alit of us hold our stress in these pelvic areas. Good luck to you. Keep trying.
Hi dr melissa
Plz
Hi, I was wondering if you could with an issue I have. I’m very flexible, so when I’m stretching against the wall, I feel a little tightness in my inner thighs. But I also feel strong tension in what I think is a muscle (below my hip bone and a little bit towards the groin, I can feel its tightness with my hand). And when I lie against the wall for a while, these muscles get tight and I can’t lift my legs back so I need to lift them with my hands. I don’t know if it’s tight hip abductors or psoas or something else, but I feel like it’s contributing to my pelvic floor issues too. I used to be able to do splits and I only developed this tightness a couple of years, I think from sitting cross legged at my desk job. Sorry for the long post but I was wondering if you could tell what the issue might be? Thank you
Hi there! I always recommend seeing your healthcare provider for what is best for you. Sitting a lot can create tension and tightness as well as not having an optimized core and pelvic floor system. Breathing and posture are 2 keys for this and can contribute to tension and tightness.
I have a severe stinging pain on touching on vulva , it is burning and also have painful urination. Is this a pudendal neuralgia?
I am Ilir, I really like your videos, I have pain in my penis and the lower part of my abdomen, I have been to different urologists, they have diagnosed me with chronic pain in the pelvic muscles. They sent me to physiotherapy for pelvic muscles. It helped me get rid of the pain in my penis, but I still have a problem with erection and numbness in my penis, I can't feel the touch. Now I have started doing your exercises for 2 days, it has helped me and I feel very good! What else did you suggest I do?❤❤❤
I am getting a bit confused regarding the breathing pattern.Do we have to hold our breath between inhale and exhale pattern?
Great questions! No holding your breath in between. Inhale diaphragm is descending and lengthening pelvic floor muscles and exhale contracting and lifting pelvic floor back up. It’s constant movement with the breath in and out.
@DrMelissaOleson Thanks a lot Ma'am 🙏
I have a testicular pain ,, for more than 1 years,,, i consult urologist but they found nothing in test, so they give me scrotal support ,, but but my pain not reduced ,, so can I try this exercises
Is lower back stretching pain normal when doing legs up the wall or some of these myofascial techniques?
No, when doing legs up the wall it should be a very supportive relaxing pose. Listening to your body is key.
How do I know if it’s pelvic floor dysfunction or pudenal neuralgia?
I am wondering the same but my instinct is telling me to start with these relaxing glides and generally improve my overall health...
It's something you would have to be evaluated by a Dr to know for sure which you have.
How many times a day can you do these stretches? I don't want to over do them.
It's always best to listen to your body. Some can do them every couple of days, some 1x day and some do 2-3x day. The key is gentle!
@@DrMelissaOleson thank you so much! I'm trying to find relief from pudendal neuralgial. Your stretches are bringing some small periods of relief! 4.5 months of pelvic floor therapy that didn't help, actually made things worse. I now know she had me doing core and pelvic floor strengthing. Thank you so much for giving me some hope again!
@@krish.7304 You are welcome! Happy to hear these exercises are giving you some relief! Breathing with these exercises can also be really helpful. Keep up the good work!
@@DrMelissaOleson I'm working on getting my breathing down. Yesterday was the first time after 4 days of doing your stretches that I could really feel the difference with the breathing. I also felt a release in my pelvic floor for the first time! I was so excited I cried! Thank you so much for all the hope you are giving me!
@@krish.7304 AMAZING!!! Keep up the good work!
I am 64 with pudendal neuralgia and ED do you have any exercises for ED?
Hi there! I do. Give this video a try and remember that focusing on your breath is key.
ruclips.net/video/4Zj9CIMtiP4/видео.htmlsi=od8HmVKaVS0Ybn-P
Mam is this exercise just for ladies?
These exercises work for both men, women all pelvic floors!
How many times a day can I do these exercises? Not sure if pudendal, obturator or sacral nerves. Seeing pelvic floor PT. Having mri 5/24. They do seem to be helping with sitting more comfortable. If there are any other yoga stretches please advise. I had an anterior hip replacement 4 1/2 months ago.
So awesome you are seeing a pelvic floor PT so helpful for what is best for you! I always recommend checking in with you healthcare provider for what is best for you and listening to your body. Being careful to not over do with the exercises so of my clients do these 1x a day some 2x day some every couple days every body is different. We do have another yoga for pudendal nerve on our channel you might enjoy as well 💜
Hi, thank you for your videos.
I think I have problems with pudendal nerve. I’m a male, does this excersices are also for men?.
You are welcome! Glad you enjoy the videos and yes these exercises work for men too!
Can pudendal narulgia give you rectal pain? I have seen doc tell me nothing scary is going on I’m a shallow breather and anxious person for sure but this pain is real bad how long do you recommend I do this routine once a day or take what I learned and do it for longer durations thanks god bless
Really great question and so glad to hear you checked in with your doctor, so important! Yes some people can have rectal pain caused from pudenal nerve irritation. Everyone is different in what exercises and how often so listening to your body is best. These exercises coupled with your breathing can be done daily, some people find every other day, and some find a few times a day helpful. It's important to not over stretch and be very gentle and continue to keep listening to your body. Keep up the good work 💕
@@DrMelissaOleson Ty take care
@@jojovelazquez13 you're welcome!
@mike Madden hi!
Can you please let me know what remedy you trying for your rectal pain?
I am suffering from rectal pain for a quite some time.
@@jojovelazquez13 did these exercises helped you?
Great presentation, Dr. Oleson. However, some of these exercises look almost impossible if a person is obese and/or elderly.
Thank you for your feedback! We have lots of other videos on our channel and there is always ways to modify so exercises work best for that individual💜

You are welcome!
This is an embarassing question but does this help with PGAD?
I have symptoms too, I can tell you once I tried it myself if you want.
Thank you for these exercises but what if the pain is always in your butt cheek and groin vagina area? Would the golf ball still work to relive the back side groin vag area pain because I never have pain in the front. How do I relive that left butt cheeks pain and groin vagina pain? Thanks.
There are so many things that could be the root cause so seeing your healthcare provider for what is best for you. We do have a several videos on buttock pain and groin pain you might enjoy on our channel ruclips.net/video/SaANZsFpxyM/видео.htmlsi=5vU_pQ_AvzvJhGRE

Pata nahi@@havishsingal2440
It has been 13 years, can it be recovered?
I've had it for 22 years. I gave up a sitting job and started walking regularly, and that helped a bit, but it still causes problems. I tried acupuncture, injections, read a few books about pain management, self-hypnosis, but they didn't help. I DO however think it can be self-caused, perhaps your body created it to avoid doing things, and could be tied to anxiety (John Sarno did an interesting book about this).
It could also be trigger points. There is some stuff on the internet about all these things.
I don't know for sure what I'm suffering from but it feels like it was a pudental nerve pain .....I've pain in both the sides of my pelvic bone n the nerves felt like shooting something n it makes me discomfort ...can I please know whether that's a pudental nerve problem? And does it go away without medical treatment? Please help me
It's best and I recommend following up with your healthcare provider so they can treat your specific needs. In general, these gentle stretches and breathing can help with pudendal neuralgia and tight pelvic floor muscles.
Hey i have the same!! I also been to many doctors and they found nothing but i believe i have this
Can pudendal nerve issues cause urinary frequency?
Yes it can.
Hi Doctor, I had a fall 3 months ago. After a couple of days, I had a fever which lasted a week. And I felt discomfort burning sensation on my testicles, inner thighs, and anus. I also noticed the vein on my head of penis is very obvious and feeling a little swollen. Now, the feeling just comes and goes. I also have a very sore back pain as well as knee pain. May I know what condition am I having? I'm feel very lost and depressed.. 😢
Did you get any better?
