PN caused by pushing too hard During bowel movement?
I read somewhere that you can get PN from straining and pushing too hard when constipated... How does this cause it? I am wondering if this is what could have contributed to my issues. About a month ago I was pretty constipated and I was pushing and now it seems like my symptoms as far as having bowel movements is worse... What happens if you did something to the nerve from straining? Has anyone gotten PN due to this?

Hi Ashley,
It wouldn't necessarily be due to one straining incident but more likely chronic straining causing your pelvic floor muscles to be overly tense and contracted, irritating the nerve. Chronic straining and pushing could also cause a stretch injury to the nerve. You might find the following page on the website helpful. http://www.pudendalhope.info/node/32

PNE since 2002. Started from weightlifting. PNE surgery from Dr. Bautrant, Oct 2004. Pain now is usually a 0 and I can sit for hours on certain chairs. No longer take medication for PNE. Can work full time and do "The Firm" exercise program. 99% cured from PGAD. PNE surgery was right for me but it might not be for you. Do your research.
