Pudendalnerveineen
Pudendalnerveineen refers to the pudendal nerve and its anatomical course within the pelvis. The pudendal nerve is a mixed nerve, meaning it contains both sensory and motor fibers. It originates from the sacral plexus, specifically from spinal nerve roots S2, S3, and S4. It travels through the pelvic cavity and plays a crucial role in innervating the structures of the perineum, which is the region between the anus and the genitals.
The pudendal nerve exits the pelvis through the greater sciatic foramen, then curves around the ischial spine
Its primary branches include the inferior rectal nerves, which supply the external anal sphincter and the skin
Dysfunction of the pudendal nerve, known as pudendal neuralgia or pudendal nerve entrapment syndrome, can lead
