Where exactly the pudendal nerve gets trapped — New York

New York

Where exactly the pudendal nerve gets trapped, seen through the experience of patients in New York, where sitting, commuting and desk work dominate the day.

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.

Video consultations are scheduled for Eastern Time so New York patients do not need to take a day off to be assessed.
