INTRODUCTION
Pudendal neuralgia is a very painful condition which occurs due to damage to the Pudendal nerve. Pudendal nerve is one of the major nerves that runs to the base of vagina behind the pelvis and to the pelvic floor. This nerve is a messenger that carries the impulses between brain and genitals and also the control of sphincter muscles is done through it. Sphincter muscles close and open while passing stool with the help of the pudendal nerve. When there is some sort of damage, irritation or compression of the Pudendal nerve, a person suffers from Pudendal neuralgia.
