OK, so did you read the last post. If you did you might be able to answer this question:
What are perineal, peroneal, and perianal?
A - They are all the same, just typos and mispellings.
B - Two of them are between the legs.
C - Problems with this one causes numbness and a foot drop.
D - All of the above.
E - Both B & C.
F - None of the above.
[No cheating -- don't look down for the answer. Decide now!]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The answer is.............................
E. Both B & C are correct. The perineal area is the region between the anus and the genitals, and the perianal area is the region around the anus. The peroneal nerve is located from behind the knee down to the foot. Problems with this nerve can cause both numbness and a foot drop (peroneal palsy). Women in particular have a habit of crossing their legs at the knee, which often entraps the nerve resulting in the above problems.
