Note: Pain from
intraperitoneal pelvic
viscera (e.g., uterus) goes
via uterovaginal and pelvic
plexuses, hypogastric
nerves, superior
hypogastric plexus, lower
aortic plexus, lower
lumbar splanchnic nerves,
sympathetic trunk from
L4 to L5 to spinal nerves
T11, 12. Pain from
subperitoneal pelvic
viscera (e.g., cervix and
upper vagina) goes via
pelvic splanchnic nerves
to S2, 3, 4. Afferent fibers
from lower vagina and
perineum go via pudendal
nerves to S2, 3, 4.
