The nerve splits into three branches, usually after going through that canal, to serve the rectum and anal area, the perineum or vulva, and the penis or clitoris.

He also feels that the “pelvic floor dysfunction” I am experiencing that was diagnosed as “pudendal nerve entrapment” is only a consequence of the groin pain that makes me contract continuously the pelvic floor muscles and maybe adding to the problem.
I believe that if you do whaterver is possible to support nerve function in general and to improve your general health will over time allow the damage to heal, those nerves to calm down, and your brain to stop being hypervigilant to pain stimulation from your pelvic area.
