Yes, it is: Yes, the genitiofemoral nerve is a peripheral nerve. Peripheral nerves, if not damaged so severely that the nerve cell body dies, then will repair and regenerate itself at a rate of 0.5 mm per day.

Yes: Ability to repair depends upon how much of the damage is just to the insulation of the nerve, vs. The "wire." a totally severed nerve generally cannot repair.
