Nerve Block
A condition that involves pain of the pudendal nerve, which runs between the anus to the genitals of both men and women. This condition is commonly associated with pudendal nerve entrapment (PNE), or the pinching and compression of the nerve, while PN can be caused by other factors. PN is more common in women than men and can be treated through a peripheral nerve block.
