| Popis: | Perineal and penile numbness is a frequent complaint of avid male bicyclists. It is currently believed to be caused by cycling induced transient ischemia from pressure on perineal neurovasculature while riding, which results in temporary numbness. We report electromyographic evidence of bilateral pudendal nerve injury associated with excessive bicycling. This condition may be associated with male erectile dysfunction if the penile blood supply is compromised. |
