Pudendal Nerve Function During Pregnancy and After Delivery

The aim of the study was to assess pudendal nerve function serially during pregnancy and after delivery. Twenty-eight women participated at 14, 30 and 36 weeks of pregnancy and 12 weeks postpartum. A prospective study of pudendal nerve terminal motor latency during pregnancy and after delivery was carried out. Results showed that pudendal nerve terminal motor latency did not increase significantly during pregnancy but increased significantly after delivery.
