Hydrodissection

(False Treatment)

Hydrodissection may sound like a valid medical term and but it's literally not a treatment for any condition.

An unethical doctor will tell you that the will inject saline (water) around your pudendal nerve under ultrasound therefore relieving the compression and pain of pudendal neuralgia. It may give the very temporary appearance of the tissue “dissecting apart” into different tissue planes.

However, this is only visible for a few minutes because your body will absorb the water. You have put your body at risk by allowing a doctor to insert a needle near your pudendal nerve, surrounding nerves and tissues, and for no benefit. We must protect our bodies.

There is zero data on this “technique.” Not only that, but there is no coding for it with the American Medical Association (AMA) because they do not even consider this to be a real treatment thus it is not recognized.

The average cost of this fake injection is $525.

REMINDER: Do not read a doctor's website to research efficacy or safety of a safety of a procedure because they directly benefit from positive results which may well be fabricated. You want to read studies published studies in reputable medical journals (a third party).

Most Important is that the doctors who publish should list the statement NO CONFLICT of INTEREST. The best example is that positive results will benefit them and/or their institution financially. This does for testing treatments, to cars, to paint. You would not trust a car safety study of BMW conducted by BMW. You would read a third party report in Consumer Reports.

Medicare is the benchmark for FDA approved procedures. If it doesn't cover one, it is probably not a good idea to go forward.

The exception may be neurostimulation because although there are no large, significant studies concluding that it relieves chronic nerve pain for pudendal neuralgia because it is rare, there are a myriad of them of other nerves and parts of the body.

"But though such diseases are individually rare, collectively an estimated 25 to 30 million Americans are affected." 1

30 million out of 330 million Americans is not rare.

One of our objectives of Pudendal Neuralgia Alliance is to raise funds and to convince hospitals and doctors to run clinical studies on neurostimulation and other treatments. Medicine should not only be about profit. Money is necessary for studies and research, but highly profitable areas of medicine and donation should fund non-profitable disease studies and research because Americans suffering from them are equal in value to all others.
