Health Organization for Pudendal Education

Was a regular poster here years ago. Pain was better the last 7 years I believe from lifestyle modification and menopause (history of endometriosis). Had my second Anterior Cervical Disc Fusion in my spine last November and it has stirred everything up. Trying to sift through what is pudendal and wh...
