[1] Both of these are superficial to the dorsal nerve of the penis or the dorsal nerve of ...
Pudendal nerve entrapment (PNE) is an uncommon, chronic pelvic pain condition in which the pudendal nerve (located in the pelvis) is entrapped and compressed.There are several different anatomic locations of potential entrapment (see Anatomy).
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.

[2] The pudendal nerve provides sensation information (i.e. innervates) for the anal canal, external anal sphincter, and the perineum.
