A 24-year-old woman seeking assistance for apparent infertility has been unable to conceive despite repeated attempts in five years of marriage. She revealed that her husband had fathered a child in a prior marriage. Although her menstrual periods are fairly regular, they are accompanied by extreme lower back pain.
The lower back pain during menstruation experienced by this woman probably is referred from the pelvic region. The pathways that convey this pain sensation to the central nervous system involve which of the following?
A. Hypogastric nerve to L1–L2
B. Lumbosacral trunk to L4–L5
C. Pelvic splanchnic nerves to S2–S4
D. Pudendal nerve to S2–S4
