The superficial branches of the perineal nerve become the posterior scrotal nerves in men, [3] and the posterior labial nerves in women. [1] The deep branch of the perineal nerve (also known as the "muscular" branch) travels to the muscles of the perineum. [1] Both of these are superficial to the dorsal nerve of the penis or the dorsal nerve of ...

In 2014, a study involving 30 patients with pudendal neuralgia and who had not achieved pain relief with other treatments underwent pulsed radiofrequency under computed tomography guidance. [64] 26 of the patients completed the study, and reported 83% pain relief at 6 months after the procedure, and 79% pain relief after 1 year. [64]
The pudendal nerve is the main nerve of the perineum. [1]: 274 It is a mixed (motor and sensory) nerve and also conveys sympathetic autonomic fibers.It carries sensation from the external genitalia of both sexes and the skin around the anus and perineum, as well as the motor supply to various pelvic muscles, including the male or female external urethral sphincter and the external anal sphincter.

Descending perineum syndrome (also known as levator plate sagging) [1] refers to a condition where the perineum "balloons" several centimeters below the bony outlet of the pelvis during strain, although this descent may happen without straining. [2] The syndrome was first described in 1966 by Parks et al. [3]
The pudendal nerve branches off of the sacral plexus and is both a sensory and motor nerve. [2] The pudendal nerve provides sensation information (i.e. innervates) for the anal canal, external anal sphincter, and the perineum. [3] Pudendal nerve blocks can be used to provide pain relief to this region for about 30 days, but has been reported to ...
