Pudendal Nerve Entrapment

Content written by Andrew T. Goldstein, MD

With this condition, the pudendal nerve, which carries feeling from the external genitals, the lower rectum and the area between the genitals and the rectum (perineum), becomes damaged or entrapped. Women with this condition feel severe burning and aching pain when they try to sit and often have problems with their bladder and bowels.
