Perineal branh or dorsal branch

[Balenul]

Hello , if any person with experience can help me with a answear.
If you have a entrapment of one of this 2 branches what symptoms you have ? Also entrapment of any of thid 2 can give constant urge to pee in urethra ?
With respect !

I had a lot of perineal branch involvement but also the main branch was affected. I didn't have much rectal involvement so possibly that branch was coming off higher up than the ligament entrapment as it does in some people. So I can't say for sure what was the main cause of the urinary symptoms but if the main branch is affected at the ligamental grip of the SS/ST ligaments it can cause urinary symptoms.

Ty for answear Violet.

So you had 2 entrapment zone ? One at ligaments and second at distal perineal branch ? I understanded good or was only one just at Ss/St ligaments that gave you perineal problems also ?

I had entrapment at the ST/SS ligament grip and Alcock's canal that affected primarily the perineal branch of the pudendal nerve. The surgeon also shaved off some of the falciform process of the ST ligament. He told me that sometimes he shaves off part of the pelvic floor muscles if they are enlarged and impinging on the nerve. The neurologist who worked with the surgeon at the time told me that symptoms can depend on which nerve fibers are affected. So it's not just one size fits all -- each person can have a bit of variation in what part of the nerve is affected and where the entrapments are -- and figuring it out is not an exact science, unfortunately. How are you doing Balenul? I've been worrying about you -- haven't heard from you in a while.
