Superior Hypogastric Plexus Block NYC for Pelvic and Abdominal Pain Relief

Are you feeling constant pain in your lower belly or pelvis? Does it hurt to sit, walk, or use the bathroom? You might be dealing with nerve pain coming from deep inside your body. A group of nerves called the superior hypogastric plexus could be the cause.

At 5th Avenue Medical Wellness, we offer Superior Hypogastric Plexus Block in NYC to treat stubborn pelvic and abdominal pain. This simple, targeted injection calms the nerves and helps stop the pain signals.

What Is a Superior Hypogastric Plexus Block?

This is a special injection that targets a group of nerves in your lower abdomen called the superior hypogastric plexus. These nerves carry pain messages from your pelvic organs — like your uterus, bladder, prostate, or rectum — to your brain.

Sometimes these nerves keep sending pain signals even after the original problem is gone. This procedure helps stop that. It “blocks” the pain messages at the source, so you can feel relief.

Conditions Treated with Superior Hypogastric Plexus Block

You may benefit from this treatment if you have:

  • Chronic pelvic pain
  • Endometriosis
  • Painful periods
  • Bladder or bowel pain
  • Prostate or rectal pain
  • Pain after pelvic surgery
  • Cancer-related pelvic pain

If pain is affecting your sleep, mood, or ability to function, this could be the right step.

How the Injection Works for Pelvic Nerve Pain

The pain signals from your pelvic area travel through your nervous system to your brain. When these signals never turn off, the pain feels constant — even if there’s no ongoing injury.

This block injects numbing medicine near the nerve bundle. It helps quiet those signals so your brain doesn’t keep reacting to pain. The result? You can finally get a break from the discomfort and start feeling like yourself again.

What’s Inside the Injection?

The injection may contain:

  • A local anesthetic to numb the nerves
  • A steroid or alcohol-based agent to give longer relief (if needed)
  • A contrast dye to guide the injection

We always use imaging tools like fluoroscopy or CT scan. This keeps everything safe and accurate.

What Happens During the Procedure?

Typically, the entire procedure takes thirty to forty-five minutes. You’ll be awake but relaxed.

  • You lie on your stomach
  • We clean and numb the skin on your lower back
  • A small needle is placed near the nerve area using imaging
  • Medicine is slowly injected
  • You relax for a short time, then go home the same day

You might feel some warmth or light pressure. That means the nerves are responding.
