Gynecology

Genital pain is an underdiagnosed complex of chronic diseases. Neural therapy (NT) is a simple, effective approach to these complaints. Gynecological pain is based on a variety of pathophysiological conditions. In many cases, there are three main conditions: Neuralgia, fascia tension, and silent inflammation. We assume that many gynecological chronic pain disorders are associated with one or more of these conditions. This new approach to gynecological pain allows a systematic therapeutic concept providing good success. The chapter covers four frequent gynecological pain syndromes, which are treatable with NT: Chronic pelvic pain syndrome (CPPS), special stages of endometriosis, vulvodynia, and genital scar pain. Diagnosis and treatment are described in detail. Scars may function as stoerfields or may cause local complaints such as pain. We distinguish between stoerfields affecting the genital region and genital stoerfields affecting other remote areas of the body. An important source of genital complaints are scars within the genital region itself, such as episiotomy, cesarean section scars, or coccygeal scars. Four gynecological techniques are described in detail: Paracervical injections to the uterovaginal plexus, suprapubic and vaginal, injection to the pudendal nerve, and special gynecological scar injection techniques. Indications and pitfalls of these techniques are discussed.
