Ever heard of Pudendal Nerve Entrapment Syndrome

Abstract

There is a multitudinous range of diseases we are unaware of. Only when someone experiences it or somebody we know maneuvers through a disorder do we acknowledge the term and condition with conviction.Pudendal Nerve Entrapment or in short PNE is exactly what the name suggests. The disease occurs due to the construction of the pudendal nerve in the pudendal canal also called the Alcock canal and thus the befitting alternate name being Alcock canal syndrome.

Let’s Explore More About the Pudendal Nerve

The pudendal nerve emerges from the anterior division of spinal nerves S2, S3, S4. The pudendal nerve dives down in between the piriformis muscle and ischiococcygeus muscle and departs through the pelvis through the greater sciatic foramen. After which the nerve traverses the sacrospinous ligament and reconciles with the pelvis by entering through the lesser sciatic foramen. The nerve then trails through the Alcock canal.

What Does the Pudendal Nerve Do

The pudendal nerve suffuses with the anal canal,  the skin space around the anus, perineum, external genitalia of both males and females. Additionally, it also suffuses with the muscles of the pelvis, external anal sphincter, and external urethral sphincter.

What is the Triggering Factor of PNE

The triggering factors may include:

• Surgery
• An injury
• Tumor
• Inflammation
• Females in case of giving birth.

Excessive and strenuous exercises, over-the-board cycling, and psychological factors such as stress can also immensely contribute to the entrapment of the pudendal nerve. These are some of the reasons that can cause pudendal nerve entrapment syndrome.

Symptoms of PNE

The symptoms of PNE may include :

• Pain in the lower areas like the anus and genital region
• Burning sensation
• Pricking pain
• Frequent desire for micturition
• Pain during coitus
• Difficulty and uncomfortable while sitting

The intensity and type of pain can vary from person to person. Some might experience unfathomable pain in the form of stabbing pain,  pricking pain,  and burning pain. While on the other hand, some might have tolerable forms of pain.The pain may radiate to the belly or also in the lower part of the body like legs, thighs, and calves.

How Does One Confirm the Possibility of PNE?

An MRI scan can assure the possibility of pudendal nerve entrapment. This can also confirm the formation of tumors and the presence of an inflammation which can invariably cause PNE.

Treatment For PNE

The treatment of PNE is a systematic blend of lifestyle improvement, medications, and physiotherapy. As we now know that strenuous physical exertion can act as the primary causative factor for PNE,  reducing this would undoubtedly reduce the pain. Correcting one’s posture can help them reduce the pain, that is sitting upright and standing more often can reduce the chances of irritation on the pudendal nerve.

Through physiotherapy,  one can resort to experiencing relaxation by practicing it. The extensive rejuvenation of the body will reduce the pain remarkably. Analgesic medicines also decrease pain and give comfort to the body. Medications can relieve pain and also aid in improving our day-to-day activities.
