Symptoms
Section is good.

Causes
Pregnancy

During childbirth, the fetus exerts force on the mother's pelvic floor, leading to muscle strain and nerve damage.

Surgical Mishaps

Certain pelvic surgeries are associated with high risk of pudendal nerve damage, including mesh placement surgery and hysterectomy.

Injury and Trauma

Back and buttock injuries can cause pudendal nerve damage, leading to PNE.

Constipation

Chronic constipation can lead to the accumulation of waste, which can press on the pudendal nerve and cause nerve damage.

Bicycling

Heavy and prolonged bicycling, especially if an inappropriately shaped or incorrectly positioned bicycle seat is used, may eventually thicken the sacrotuberous and/or sacrospinous ligaments and trap the nerve between them, resulting in PNE.

Sedentary Lifestyle

Sedentary lifestyle involving prolonged sitting is one of the causes of PNE.
