Internal pudendal veins
(Redirected from Vein of bulb of vestibule)
Internal Pudendal Veins are a set of veins that are part of the human circulatory system. They are responsible for draining blood from the perineum and external genitalia, and are located in the pelvis region of the body.
Anatomy[edit | edit source]
The internal pudendal veins originate from the deep dorsal vein of the penis or clitoris. They follow the same course as the internal pudendal artery, and drain into the internal iliac vein.
Function[edit | edit source]
The primary function of the internal pudendal veins is to carry deoxygenated blood away from the external genitalia and perineum. This includes the scrotum and vulva, as well as the lower part of the anus.
Clinical Significance[edit | edit source]
Abnormalities or damage to the internal pudendal veins can lead to a variety of medical conditions. These include erectile dysfunction, varicocele, and hemorrhoids. Treatment for these conditions may involve surgery or other medical interventions.
