Pudendal Neuralgia Treatment in Hong Kong
Specialist evaluation and surgical care for pudendal neuralgia and chronic pelvic pain, led by Dr Renaud Bollens — Professor of Urology, with over 600 pelvic procedures performed.
The center
International care coordinated from Hong Kong
Hong Kong patients begin with a secure online consultation with Prof. Renaud Bollens. When surgery is indicated, we coordinate laparoscopic pudendal nerve decompression at our Dubai (Koster Clinic, Jumeirah) or Belgium center, with imaging, hospitalisation and structured post-operative follow-up on return to Hong Kong.
International patients
How consultations work
We work with patients from Central, Kowloon, Sha Tin and the wider Hong Kong SAR who have exhausted local urology, gynaecology and pain-clinic pathways without a clear diagnosis. Consultations are held in English; a Cantonese or Mandarin medical interpreter can be arranged. Reports are provided in English suitable for international insurance reimbursement.
- Online video consultation to review your history and imaging
- Diagnostic pathway with local specialists when needed
- In-person evaluation at the center prior to surgery
- Structured follow-up during recovery — remote or on-site
Why patients travel from Hong Kong
Specialist pelvic pain care for Hong Kong patients
Pudendal neuralgia and chronic pelvic pain are rarely a routine subspecialty in Hong Kong's public and private hospitals. Many patients from Hong Kong have been through repeated cystoscopies, laparoscopies or empirical antibiotic courses without the underlying nerve entrapment being identified.
Prof. Renaud Bollens is a Professor of Urology with 26+ years' experience and more than 600 pelvic procedures performed. His practice is subspecialised in laparoscopic pudendal nerve decompression — a procedure not routinely offered in Hong Kong.
For Hong Kong patients we structure care as: an online video evaluation of your history and imaging, a single focused surgical stay in Dubai or Belgium, and long-term follow-up remotely. Documentation is prepared in English for AXA, Bupa, Cigna, MSH and other international insurers.
FAQ
Common questions from Hong Kong patients
Do you see patients from Hong Kong?
Yes. Hong Kong patients begin with an online video consultation. If surgery is indicated, we schedule the procedure at our Dubai (Koster Clinic) or Belgium center — Dubai is typically preferred for its direct HKG → DXB flights (~8 hours).
Can I be seen in Cantonese (廣東話) or Mandarin (普通話)?
Consultations are held in English. A professional Cantonese or Mandarin medical interpreter can be arranged for the video call — please request when booking.
How is this different from care in Hong Kong hospitals?
Most Hong Kong urology and gynaecology services do not offer laparoscopic pudendal nerve decompression as a routine procedure. Our practice is subspecialised in this operation, with over 600 pelvic procedures performed by Prof. Bollens.
Will Hong Kong private medical insurance reimburse the treatment?
Many international policies (AXA, Bupa, Cigna, MSH) reimburse out-of-country surgery when medically indicated. We provide English documentation, procedure codes and detailed invoices for your claim.
What should I prepare before the online consultation?
Recent pelvic MRI (preferably 3T or MR neurography), EMG of the pelvic floor if available, previous urology / gynaecology reports, and a symptom diary covering the last 4 weeks.
