A member asked:
Would a compressed s1 nerve cause genital pain?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not usually: The nerves that primarily innervate the genitals come from t12-l2 region: ilioinguinal, iliohypogastric, and genitofemoral nerves. Pudendal nerve arises from s2-s4 and innervates anus, perineum, lower scrotum. Si compression radiculopathy usually associated with pain down the back of thigh and leg into the back and lateral aspect of the foot. Likely another cause for genital pain: prostatitis?
