What Causes Constant Pressure, Numbness And Tingling Feeling In Perineum?

Neuropathic pain medications may help.
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thank you for posting your query.
I have noted your son's symptoms and agree that they could be very upsetting and disturbing.
It is difficult to pinpoint the exact cause of his symptoms, however, the symptoms appear to be neuropathic in nature. At the same time, investigations such as MRI spine/pelvis and nerve conduction studies are likely to come out normal.
Underlying psychiatric illness can exacerbate these symptoms.
In my opinion, it would be worthwhile giving a trial of neuropathic pain medications. Common medicines that could help him are pregabalin, gabapentin or duloxetine capsules.
I hope my reply has helped you.
I would be pleased to answer, if you have any follow up queries or if you require any further information.
Best wishes,

My thought is that this is something that he is going to have to live with.
Can you suggest any alternative methods of coping with these symptoms?
I meant neuropathic symptoms.
Detailed Answer:
Thank you for getting back.
Thank you for clarifying that there is no pain. I meant the same, however, the correct term would be neuropathic symptoms. Symptoms such as pressure, tingling, twitching sensations, etc can be described as neuropathic symptoms (presumed to be due to nerve injury).
Medications, as I suggested above, would help in relieving these symptoms.
In addition, for anxiety, he may also take clonazepam tablets.
Best wishes,
Dr Sudhir Kumar MD DM (Neurology)
