| pudendal ulcer | <disease, microbiology> A rare sexually transmitted disease that is caused by Calymmatobacterium granulomatis. This infection is more common in the tropical and subtropical areas such as India, Guyana and new Guinea. There are approximately 100 cases reported annually in the United States. Men are affected more often than women. It is thought to be most commonly acquired through anal intercourse. Symptoms include a small red nodule on the genitalia that may form elevated masses of reddened tissue (granulation tissue). The lesions gradual spread and destroy genital tissue. Diagnosis is via tissue biopsy or culture. Treatment includes antibiotics. (27 Sep 1997) |

| small pudendal lip | One of two narrow longitudinal folds of mucous membrane enclosed in the pudendal cleft within the labia majora; posteriorly, they gradually merge into the labia majora and join to form the frenulum labiorum pudendi (fourchette); anteriorly, each labium divides into two portions which unite with those of the opposite side in front of the glans clitoridis to form the prepuce. Synonym: labium minus pudendi, small pudendal lip. (05 Mar 2000) |
| internal pudendal artery | <anatomy, artery> Origin, internal iliac; branches, inferior rectal, perineal, posterior scrotal (or labial), urethral, artery of bulb of penis (or of vestibule), deep artery of penis (or clitoris), dorsal artery of penis (or clitoris). Synonym: arteria pudenda interna. (05 Mar 2000) |
| internal pudendal vein | <anatomy, vein> A tributary of the internal iliac vein that accompanies the internal pudendal artery as a single or double vessel. It drains the perineum. Synonym: vena pudenda interna. (05 Mar 2000) |
| large pudendal lip | One of two rounded folds of integument forming the lateral boundaries of the pudendal cleft. The labia majora are the female homolog of the scrotum. Synonym: labium majus pudendi, large pudendal lip. (05 Mar 2000) |
| frenulum of pudendal lips | The fold connecting the two labia minora posteriorly. Synonym: frenulum labiorum pudendi, fourchette, frenulum labiorum minorum, frenulum of pudendal lips, frenulum pudendi. (05 Mar 2000) |
| reflected inguinal ligament | <anatomy> A triangular fibrous band extending from the aponeurosis of the external oblique to the pubic tubercle of the opposite side.
