Symptoms of INCONTINENCE SECONDARY TO PUDENDAL NERVE INJURY

Pudendal Neuropathy is frequently caused by inflammatory damage or chronic mechanical compression of the pudendal nerve. Damage to the pudendal nerve can occur suddenly as a result of trauma, such as surgery in the pelvic region, falls, bicycle accidents or childbirth and sometimes even from severe constipation. It can also occur from sustained trauma over time, such as from bicycle riding or aggressive weightlifting that strains the pelvic muscles. It can be caused by diseases such as diabetes or multiple sclerosis. Trauma may cause stretching or compression of the nerve directly, or by causing fibrosis which can pinch the nerve.
