Thanks for posting this - it's interesting.
It's noticeable that there's something of a male/female divide in the range of diagnoses and treatments mentioned in this doctor's survey. The emphasis in this video is on female pelvic dysfunction - there's not so much about the male version of the disorder.
Although proctalgia is briefly mentioned, it's only in the context of 'proctalgia fugax'. Also , the difference between proctalgia and pudendal neuralgia isn't really covered here, as far as I can see.
But it's certainly useful to have this overview, and the numerous illustrations and diagrams are particularly helpful in underlining the complexity of pelvic pain and its potential causes, I think.
