: A 10 minute lithotomy position should not be the etiology of an entrapment nerve syndrome.

The described issues are uncommon and whether you have a specific nerve problem needs confirmation. If so, a brief event might cause demyelination, which should fully recover by 3-4 weeks. Pelvic floor physical therapy is often helpful.
