Theinternal pudendal veins (internal pudic veins) are a set ofveins in thepelvis. They are thevenae comitantes of theinternal pudendal artery. Internal pudendal veins are enclosed bypudendal canal, with internal pudendal artery andpudendal nerve.
They begin in thedeep veins of thescrotum and of thepenis, issuing from thebulb of the vestibule and thebulb of the penis, respectively. They accompany the internal pudendal artery, and unite to form a single vessel, which ends in theinternal iliac vein.
They receive the veins from theurethral bulb, theperineal andinferior hemorrhoidal veins.
Thedeep dorsal vein of the penis communicates with the internal pudendal veins, but ends mainly in thepudendal plexus.
