What is a Ganglion Impar Block?

A Ganglion of Impar Block is safe and easy procedure used to treat visceral, pelvic, genital, perineal and anal pain. This injection is a type of sympathetic block that can be used in the treatment of sympathetically mediated pain, pain secondary to malignancy, neuropathic pain and post-surgical pain. The ganglion impar block has been shown to relieve chronic perineal pain nonresponsive to any conservative treatment.

Am I a candidate for a Ganglion Impar Block?

If you have vague, poorly localized perineal pain that is frequently accompanied by sensations of burning or urgency you may benefit from this block. However, since the symptoms of burning and urgency, especially if their associated with urination or defecation, may be secondary to a medical condition (i.e. urinary tract infection, sexually transmitted infection, prostate inflammation etc.) it is important to first consult your primary care doctor to make sure you are not experiencing perineal area pain from one of these causes.
