Ilioinguinal Nerve

The iliac nerve provides innervation to organs located in the retroperitoneal space of the small pelvis. Iliac groin pain can also be caused by involvement of the descending branch of the inguinal region to the inguinal canal. According to the intercostal plexus, the iliacus nerve passes through the inguinal canal. Located in the scrotum, it sends numerous connective fibers down to supply the skin and muscles that make up the areas of the greater nepa. The inside of the scrotum is lined with cells that fill the space between it and the rectum. When the iliac groin is affected, the patient may experience abdominal pain, pain over the knee and tibial joints, pain in the foot, and inflammation of the peritoneum. If the hip joint capsule is affected, the patient may also feel pain when walking or palpating the hip joint. In women, inflamed tissue around the ovaries can also cause pain inside the uterine cavity if the nerve fibers of the ovary are affected. Treatment for a patient with ileal problems depends on the cause and may include physical therapy, local anesthetic injections, medications, surgery, and sometimes even removal of the affected nerve. In addition, damage to the iliac nerve can cause mild pressure symptoms associated with nerve damage in the pelvic area.
