pudendal nerve

Pelvic floor nerve

The pudendal nerve is a major nerve in the pelvis that provides sensation to the genitals, perineum, and anal region, and controls muscles involved in urination, defecation, and sexual function.

Damage or compression of the pudendal nerve causes chronic pelvic pain, numbness, or incontinence.

Pudendal neuralgia made sitting unbearable.
