Myths and facts
Separating myth from fact on pudendal nerve entrapment sites, because the myths are what keep patients undiagnosed for years.
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.
A structured specialist review replaces guesswork with a mechanism — or rules our field out entirely.
