Pain around this area is probably the number one complaint and to have this pain removed or relieved with out popping pills etc would benefit many.
I wonder why there is no anaesthetic to numb the pain a bit like a steroid injection for tennis elbow etc.
A quick jab in the pelvic floor to control this pain would do wonders for many not as a cure but to keep quality of life up while working on cure
maybe I'm looking into the future
Age:33 | Onset Age:19 | Symptoms:burning urethra, deep sore stinging around the perineum, dribbling | Helped By:when flare starts deep relaxing over a toilet to let out dribbling urine, hot bath, rubbing a heat cream on the perineum, Tens with a pad on the perineum, running, medication (solpadol) for pain. Current treatment: PT. | Worsened By:sitting, stressing over it, ejaculation, sometimes alcohol but I risk it. Been feeling a lot better last 6 months about 85% with a few flares lasting about 5 days. No longer having PT. Stretching every other night and I believe time is also a big factor for me

Local anesthetics are used by some. Jerome Weiss uses them. From his website:
When these are not completely successful invasive techniques can be added which include trigger point injections or dry needling, nerve blocks, infiltration of tender subcutaneous connective tissue with anesthetic agents, acupuncture, and Botox injections into spastic and tender muscles unresponsive to other therapies
One problem is that there are few long-lasting local anesthetics. Also, there isn't much published research on this topic. But it is an interesting and perhaps promising field.
