How do you deal with this?
1. The pudendal nerve which supplies sensation to the penis and posterior scrotum and perineum leaves the sacrum at S2,3,4. It can get trapped in the following locations.
Between the scar-spinous and sacro-tuberous ligaments.
In the fascia between the above ligaments and the pudendal (Alcock's) canal. In Alcock's canal and more recently it has been suggested that it can also be tethered under the pubis.
If you have a large central disc prolapse at L5 or even L4 it may affect the cause equina. If it is seen to touch the S2 nerve root in an MRI when laying supine, it is likely that it would affect it a great deal more when standing.
Do yo have any problems with weak ejaculatory force, as this can also be affected by the pudendal nerve as about 30% of fibres are motor to the muscles that expel the semen?
Currently, the tip is near totally numb and I cant feel an ice cube on it. I can feel it on my shaft, but it is desensitized more than 50% still. I have a curve and I dont know if its the reason for all this, or if I damaged it somehow. I have no answers after all this time. First 2 months I had total erectile dysfunction and loss of libido, but it came back and I dont have problems achieving one anymore. I had orgasms randomly in these past months while sleeping and sometimes leaking a lot of it while going to the bathroom (both ways).
A few days ago, what little I had left in the tip went away and now its almost totally numb, except that if I use a lubricant and rub gently, I can sense and feel that typical painful tingle men have when stimulating only the tip, but it is still severely desensitized and doesnt seem to get better.
Had gone an weeks to an entire month without touching it and without orgasm and it never got better. I immediately started taking b12 when this starts and it seems if I take a 1000mg tablet that I will get tingle sensations for that day until later at night when it will go away. Happens almost each time.
I changed my deity, lost 45lbs since this started, saw urologists and neurologists and am unable to see any improvement. Im scared.
But I have had severe ED for a very long time and very little libido.
ED has been getting worse along with libido and penile numbness too.
My penis is like feeling the back of my hand.
This might be due to the prone masturbation I did for a long time. But I am not sure if that is the only cause as I guess numbness can be affected by other things too.
I plan on abstaining from masturbation for a very long time. There are a lot of anectodes on nofap about how people regained their sensitivity from abstaining. But I'm not very optimistic about it.
Other than that I will use penile creams.
From all the research I've done, it seems my problem is tight/inflammed muscles along my vertebrae, which I can feel. I think the popping of my back has enflamed them and the chiropractors adjustment that make it feel better are merely stretching them which gives temporary regain of sensitivity but ultimately makes it worse. At the L1//L2 I can feel hard knots on both sides of my spine, this is where the genitofemoral nerve runs. Also knots at my l4/L5 where another genital related nerve runs. These I believe are caused by tight hip flexors, which run from the inner thigh to the lower back. I believe my issue is being caused by tight muscles compressing nerves in these areas. I don't feel numb but I hardly feel pleasure or light touch. I can feel pain when I pinch, but even that feels dulled. I've got a feeling that a lot of you guys have the same problem not realizing it's being caused by your back/muscles as I have no pain and wouldn't know the cause if I wasn't paying attention when I did it.
Check yourselves for anterior pelvic tilt, which gives you an exagerated lumbar when standing and a pushed out gut. This is caused by really tight hip flexors which is caused from sitting too much. It is my belief that this is the primary cause of my problems because some of the primary genital nerves run THROUGH these muscles, when they are tight they pinch these nerves. Also the piriformis muscle gets tight from anterior tilt and also pinches nerves, it's a domino effect. Run your thumbs real deep along the sides of your lumbar spine and feel for knots, I'm betting some of you will have them. They don't really hurt and you won't notice them unless your feeling for them.
Nowhere on the internet can I find anybody talking about tight muscles along the spine being the issue. Infact the only thing I can find about spine related genital numbness is from cuadia equina syndrome, but I don't have bladder or bowel dysfunction. And I can still feel pain, not complete numbness. Some days out of nowhere I regain pleasure and sensitivity, so I've not given up hope. I am going to be throughly stretching my hip flexors until I reverse my pelvic tilt and will be going in for deep tissue massages for my lower back and butt to release these muscles and hopefully lift the stranglehold they have on my genital nerves roots.
Anyways hope my story helps someone. It is my belief that even the lightest compression of these nerves leads to a host of other issues including chronic pelvic pain and nonbacterial prostatitis.
I have been having sensation issues and erection problems for almost 9 years. I have had scans, consults with urology, nuerology, endocrine, spine specialists, consulors, and even now I am working with a sexual specialist.
I have taken many different medicines, plus testosterion, and a spinal injection. After all of this I can't feeling pleasure from sex or masterbation. Maintaining an erection even thru masterbation is difficult at times. I also have delayed ejaculation and anorgasmia ( no orgasm). I have been brushed off by doctors, treated like my problems were not important, and my 30's are done this year and I haven't made any progress in fixing this or been able to build a life with someone or have children.
I have two pieces of information that might be relevant: 1) When I had the shot in my spine, I felt the cooling medicine as it traveled down my body but didn't effect my groin. My groin was completely untouched by it.
2) Often when I sit on hard surfaces it makes my penis numb and fall alseep with pins and needles feeling.
Please share an information or opinions you have because I am at a loss. I am currently on more meds then I have ever been on a one time and its not helping. Please help
