Pudendal neuralgia is a rare and – in the absence of somatic, radiological and laboratory abnormalities – often unrecognizable problem, posing a serious challenge to therapeutic management. Our case study presents the complete diagnostic and therapeutic algorithm of a female patient with chronic pudendal pain. In addition, our paper draws attention to the role of pelvic pain workgroups – such as the Pelvic Pain Task Force of the Semmelweis University – where cases of chronic pelvic pain with no clear medical reason can be assessed and treated with higher efficiency.
