Abstract

Perineal pain concerns a wide range of diagnostic possibilities, due to the large number of anatomical structures that are present in the perineum from different origins, but with shared innervation, that’s why it’s important to keep in mind the approach of it. The objective of this article is to provide tools that help us reach an accurate diagnosis, for an adequate and opportune treatment, because these pathologies are very frequent and underdiagnosed, which leads to a torpid management that perpetuates their chronicity.
