Numbness but no pain
Posted: Fri Apr 15, 2016 7:48 pm
Hi everybody,
I think I may have a problem with my pudendal nerve, but I am not sure. Although I am experiencing a mostly numb penis and sexual dysfunction, I haven't really experienced much pain. I will just share what happened.
I'll go ahead and say that there was originally a psychological element in my problem, but I believe that it is now physical. Let me explain. I had a girlfriend and we broke up. I realized a few weeks later that my libido was gone and I couldn't achieve an erection. So I just didn't touch it and thought about other things. 6 weeks later, I was back to my normal self.
After starting a new relationship, my libido dropped pff again and I once again had ED. However I really like the girl and wanted to keep the relatinoship, and didn't want her to know. This is where I think I might have damaged my pudendal nerve I trained myself to have sex anyway, even without libido and eventually my body started doing what I needed it to do. The only problem was my penis and scrotum became increasingly numb whenever I would have sex, and not only during sex, but all the time. Almost a year later, my libido is still gone and I am still numb down there all the time.
Since it is all the time I really don't think it could be psychological. All I can think of is that by having sex when my body wasn't prepared to do so, I must have stretched my pudendal nerve, hence the numbness. I also have kind of a cold-tingle feeling in my genitals and in the spot between my testicles and my anus. However, I don't have pain. It doesn't hurt to sit down, I don't have problems going to the bathroom. I can also feel a pinch. But I have no pleasureable sensationdown there whatsoever and can barely feel it when I touch it, it is like touching the bottom of my elbow. Does this sound like Pudendal Nerve Entrapment or Neuralgia to anybody here? I have lost a relationship because of this and I am pretty desperate to figure out what my problem is. I am only 30. Thanks, and good luck to everybody in their recovery!
