Where exactly the pudendal nerve gets trapped — Clinical guide

Medically reviewed by Dr Renaud Bollens — Professor of Urology

Clinical guide

A clear clinical guide to pudendal nerve entrapment sites, written for patients in New York and across the United States who are still looking for a straight answer.

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.

If this describes your situation, a specialist review of pudendal nerve entrapment sites can be arranged remotely from anywhere in the United States.
