A member asked:
Can bulging disc at l5-s1 cause pain in the genitals?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Unlikely: Nerve root most commonly compressed by a disc at l5-s1 is the s1 nerve root, less commonly the l5. Compression of either nerve root would cause pain down the leg, not typically the genitals.
