“…The lateral roots originate mainly from the lowest lumbar splanchnic nerves (LSNs) [2] and contain a sympathetic component [17]. The median root, or a continuation of the abdominal aortic plexus from the inferior mesenteric plexus [15,17], contains both sympathetic and parasympathetic components [12]. The SHP is divided into paired hypogastric nerves at the same level or below the sacral promontory [15,17,18,21].…”

“…On the contrary, the posterosuperior area (between the rectum and levator ani muscle) and the posteroinferior area (at and along the posterolateral corner of the prostate) contained VIP-positive nerve fibers. The hypogastric and pelvic splanchnic nerves both contain nNOS-, VIP-, and TH-positive nerves [ 14 , 15 ]. Kraima et al [ 15 ] reported that VIP-positive fibers were not present in tissues isolated from the lumbar sympathetic chain; thus, areas that do not include VIP-positive nerves may be supplied by the lumbar sympathetic chain.…”

Kraima et al [ 15 ] reported that VIP-positive fibers were not present in tissues isolated from the lumbar sympathetic chain; thus, areas that do not include VIP-positive nerves may be supplied by the lumbar sympathetic chain. In addition, a non-parasympathetic pattern [−, −, +] was not evident in the plexus branches, but was observed both inside and outside of the levator ani muscle; these nerves appeared to be pudendal nerve branches.…”

“…The uterus, bladder and rectum are innervated by the hypogastric plexus, with sensory axons converging at the same dorsal root ganglion T10–L1. The vagina, clitoris and vulva as well as parts of the bladder, cervix and rectum also have sensory input from the sacral nerves (S2–S4) and also share sensory processing in the dorsal root ganglion of S2–S4 [6,7]. These communal information centers increase the risk of neuronal dysfunction in the pelvis, resulting in a unique cross-over effect.…”
