Checklist
A practical checklist for anyone dealing with pudendal nerve entrapment sites — what to record, what to ask, and when to escalate.
The nerve is most commonly compressed between the sacrospinous and sacrotuberous ligaments, and within Alcock's canal along the wall of the pelvis.
The site of compression predicts the pattern of symptoms, which is why detailed symptom mapping is not a formality but a diagnostic step.
Surgical planning follows the anatomy identified during assessment rather than a standard template.
Bring your notes to the consultation; a well-documented history shortens the road to a diagnosis considerably.
