Pudendal block refers to a medical procedure used to manage pain in the perineum region. This procedure involves injecting a local anesthetic into the pudendal nerve, which is responsible for transmitting sensation from the perineum, anus, and genitalia. The pudendal block is commonly used during labor and delivery, pelvic surgery, and certain gynecologic procedures. Some possible synonyms for pudendal block include perineal block, saddle block, and pudendal nerve block. These terms can be used interchangeably in medical literature and discussions, and they all refer to the same procedure for managing pain in the perineum region.
