Objective To elucidate the neurological m ec hanism of the referred pains in pelvic floor from prostate and the relationship between pain from prostate and pelvic floor muscle dysfunction. Meth ods The prostate was electrically stimulated,and the elicited action potentials were recorded from iliohypogastric,ilioinguinal,genitofemoral,latera l femoral cutaneous,femoral,sciatic nerves,and compound muscle action potentials (CMAP) were recorded from anal external sphincter. Results Action potentials were elicited principally in the genitofemoral nerve (93 .3%),ilioinguinal nerve (55.5%);the action potentials of the genitofemoral nerve were not influenced by transaction of the cervical spinal cord,whereas they dis appeared immediately after rat death; the action potentials were reduced conside rably after destruction of the lumbosacral sympathetic trunks.CMAPs were elicite d in the anal external sphincter in 93.3% of the rats (14/15). Conc lusions Electrical stimulation of the prostate induced reflex discha rges in the nerves to perineal,pelvic floor areas.It was postulated that the ref lex discharges are related to muscle contraction leading to referred pain in the perineal,pelvic floor areas.Pain from prostate is correlated significantly with pelvic floor muscle dysfunction.
