In the female the pudendal plexus is called utero-vaginal 

 plexus. It surrounds the vagina and both sides of the uterus up to its 

 fundus ; it anastomoses with the other plexuses of the pelvis and opens 

 by means of the short uterine veins into the internal iliac. In the preg- 

 nant state of the uterus, its venous plexus is especially well developed.
