I know there are 2 pudendal nerves, a left one and a right one. If one is damaged and shot or useless, does the other one, which is sound, healthy, intact, provide for full control of and full, normal functioning of the bladder, bowel, and sex organs?
Also, can pudendal nerve EMG testing distinguish between left and right pudendal nerves or are these 2 pudendal nerves considered in the EMG test as one, single nerve?
Is an EMG pudendal nerve study done only at the anus considered a full study of the tract of the pudendal nerves or is a proper, full testing of the pudendal nerves a more extensive study than one done only at the anus?
