What happens when the pudendal nerve is damaged in a male? how will the genitalia be affected?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
How much damage: The pudendal nerve is the main nerve of the perineum. It carries sensation from the external genitalia of both sexes and the skin around the anus and perineum, as well as the motor supply to various pelvic muscles, including the male or female external urethral sphincter and the external anal sphincter. The severity of symptoms would be determined by degree of damage.
