Pelvic & Groin Pain

Targeted Cryoneurolysis for Chronic Postoperative and Nerve-Related Pelvic Pain

Overview

Chronic pain in the pelvic and groin region can arise from surgery, nerve entrapment, or long-standing inflammation — and is often difficult to treat with traditional therapies. At Copenhagen Cryo Center, we use ultrasound-guided cryoneurolysis to target specific sensory nerves that transmit pain signals from the groin, lower abdomen, and pelvic floor.

This non-destructive, outpatient procedure offers a promising option for individuals suffering from postoperative pain, nerve irritation, or conditions like pudendal or genitofemoral neuralgia — helping to restore function, intimacy, and quality of life.

Pelvic & Groin Pain Conditions We Treat

We use cryoneurolysis to address a range of nerve-related pelvic and groin pain conditions:

Groin Pain After Hernia Surgery

Nerve irritation following inguinal or femoral hernia repair, often involving the ilioinguinal or genitofemoral nerves.

Genitofemoral Neuralgia

Burning or aching pain in the groin, pubic region, or upper thigh due to irritation of the genitofemoral nerve.

Pudendal Neuralgia

Deep pelvic pain affecting the clitoris, vagina, penis, or anus due to entrapment or inflammation of the pudendal nerve.

Why Cryoneurolysis?

Unlike medications that treat the whole body or invasive surgeries that involve cutting or cauterizing nerves, cryoneurolysis:

  • Targets only the problematic sensory nerves
  • Preserves motor function and surrounding tissues
  • Offers months of relief with a single outpatient treatment
  • Is performed using live ultrasound guidance for maximum precision

Most patients can return to daily activities the same day with minimal discomfort.

Reclaim Comfort and Confidence

If pelvic or groin pain is interfering with your movement, sleep, or intimacy, cryoneurolysis may offer a safe and effective solution. Explore the conditions above or book your consultation with Dr. Filipovski today.
