Hi guys, what's up?

I'm writing to you my story which has similar sympthoms from yours. First I'm describing my current symptoms. Then below some history of threatments and of when I started to feel like this.


Current Symptoms:
- Penis' skin with the same previous changes: different color, thinner skin
appearance and thicker / apparent veins, nerves more apparent. The nerve of the underside of the penis, it seems more salient and "hard" when the penis is erect.
- It seems like there's a division in the penis - In one part is normal
color and appearance and the rest is not.
- Heavy penis sensation, always pointing downwards and weighing down.
- Areas where previously felt itchy and where I used the pastes, are those
that sensitivity is lost. I can't feel the itching in these areas since I
lost sensitivity.
- Almost total lack of sensitivity in the penis body at the topside. The glans
has almost no sensitivity. Underside of the penis with greater sensitivity, but not 100% normal.
- Besides the penis, I feel that I lost sensitivity of the innermost part
of the buttocks or **** (feel that control how to eliminate gas / fart has
changed, for example, is difficult to explain).
- Loss of erection upon waking up accompanied by urination urge. I have now no erection in the morning when I wake up and the urge to urinate is
non-existent or very mild.
- Urinating: With the erect penis, must make great efforts to urinate. With
the soft penis, there is not the same sensitivity and control. Penis always
down.
- Erection: Occurs but needs greater stimulation than before to occur. In
closing the stimulation, the erection ends much faster than before.
- Ejaculation: It happens, but without the same pleasure. When it comes out
of the penis, it seems that comes "through the penis" with greater
difficulty and not as much pressure as before.
- When I force the muscles of this area, like if I was going to urinate for
example, I can't feel or control the penis.
- Pain in the lower back, especially on the right.
- In the past weeks, I started to feel tingling sensation on the right
foot. Rarely, pain on the sole right to get up and walk after sitting or
lying down.
- Pain when you press with your fingers a portion of the right leg muscles
on the lateral aspect of the buttock.
- No sexual relations since end of 2014, when the symptoms in the penis
started. In a relation with girlfriend since 2012 and she has no similar
symptoms.

History of Symptoms:
- Since 2011: Itching in the groin area, between thighs and scrotum, also
inside the buttocks and between scrotum and buttocks. I never did any
treatment related to this. I'm not sure what could have caused this.
- September 2014: Itching in the penis body with a white spot circle
- From September 2014 until March 2015:
1. Used Canesten paste in penis, inside the buttocks and I took water
bath vinegar in the penis only. Vinegar helped to "dry" the white spot and
it started to become red and then to come back to normal color of skin.
2. Continued to use for a few more months in penis, inside the
buttocks and I took water bath vinegar in the penis only, but if I stopped
using for a few days, the skin became red and itching again.
3. March: Doctor examined and told it was related to fungi. I used Icaden/Isokonazol) in penis and inside the buttocks.
4. It got better and I stopped using all pastes and vinegar bath.
- April 2015:
1. Started exercising at the gym, with weight lifting.
- May 2015:
1. Red skin area and itching started again.
2. Used Icaden - Isokonazol for 2 days on penis and inside the
buttocks.
3. Two days later, after going to gym, I took a shower and started to masturbate. I felt like my penis was under anesthesia. I couldn't stimulate it normally and the sensation was the same as if I was recovering from anesthesia, really doing effort to feel it and be able to unirate.
4. On following days, I also noticed that I didn't have the same
control to fart (it's hard to explain).
5. Suddenly, the itching completely disappeared, in the areas where I
lost sensation (in penis and between buttocks).
4. After that, it never came back to normal.
- May/June/July 2015:
1. I used Imacort, prescribed by Dermatologist. No changes in
the symptoms.
2. I used Protopic for 2 weeks as indicated by Urologist. Skin got
better, but the sensation was the same.

Examinations:
MRI, EMG, Blood (for testosterone), Urine, Electroencephalogram. Everything so far, normal. The only thing found on MRI is Tarlov Cyst and a disk that is 3mm not in the correct position, but it's not pressuring any nerves.

I'm really desperate, as probably most of you are. Thank you for the space and sorry for so many words. Hopefully one of you will have something else to indicate.

Spider I still suffer from lack of sensitivity...any improvement on your end?

Hey, Acer, I'm sorry for such long post, but I'm sure that I could relate to your thread here.
I have Penile numbness too. I will explain my numbness in this comment.

I read through most all of the comments you recieved here and I'm sorry that you have been given little sympathy. I haven't seen much sympathy either since I began seeking medical help for mine. I guess it is easy to say that we are seeking attention cause being men we tend to freak out when we are faced with genital problems. But I wouldn't see it as a weakness cause we have to take care of our reproductivity ability (if no men cared humans could end up extinct!), Right? Because of my situation I've taken alot of time and effort searching for techniques, treatments and nutritional advice, so that's how I came across this at neurotalk. That all was promising but for me not the least bit of a cure. Perhaps you'll do well to take nutrition and healthy living as a "must do" since it could avoid some other problem that is potentialy just as undesirable as the numbness or worse. Just common sense is not what I mean to preach, but since you have seen recovery of some sensation, it's hopefull that with time, more improvement will occur. I hope you can keep a record/diary of the changes since that could help others in future if you'd be willing to share it. I've also found info pertaining to injury to a penis from stretching exercises/techniques. I know you're not alone for that type of injury.
The likely cause of my numbness is from nerve damage in the penis itself. I have had Stuttering/Recurring Priapism throughout the past 17 years. This is an erection that persists without reason for times longer than normal (more than 4 hours at a time)causing variable degrees of damage to erectile tissues, nerves, blood vessels, tunica albuginea, and various related muscles. There has not been any reason determined (diagnosis) why I have these priapismic episodes. And in all my research Stuttering Priapism is usually not found to have any underlying cause. In my case it started gradually in my early teens and became most severe in my early 20's then stopped suddenly only to begin gradually again in my 30's. Throughout all this time I've suffered with loss of sensation in my penis to many varying degrees. The worst being in my 20's after an episode that lasted 11hours. It was traumatic to realize that I had no feeling in my penis anywhere like it was no longer a part of me. I couldn't acheive erection or pleasure until more than a year later. But it never ever became 100% sensation since that time. My penis glans has become the least sensitve of all my genital areas. I'm assuming its because that is the longest and most delicate/vulnerable of the nerve pathways in the penis. When I did recover some sensation it was always the frenulum that recovered first. I'm very thankfull to still have that intact since I was circumcised as an infant but have read that some circumcision procedures do remove the frenulum portion too. I seemed to recover sensation gradually but only when the priapismic episodes stopped occuring for longer than a month. And I often had sensation loss immediately after the next episode of priapism. As you might guess my sexlife is an "isn't",but I'm very happily married to the most wounderful woman and have a miracle too (my very own son)!
The other possibility to my numbness is a spinal nerve issue. I have had some traumas in the past to my lower back (car accident x2) (falling on ice ahhh TAILBONE!)(hit in back with baseball bat)(heavy lifting and immediate pain) (riding bicycle BMX style)and (off-road motorcycling). The last two were almost worth the risk but at least "intentional".
I'd be ok with sharing more if you can reach me on this forum or via email. But best of luck and hope your future is brighter.

i went to the neurologist and showed him my mri's but he said the dorsal nerves look fine to him. i asked him if i should get a emg but he said he didnt think it would help. i had a lumbar spine mri done which came back fine and a mri for the pelvis which came back fine. so theirs nothing wrong with my back.

what should i do? should i go to a different neurologist and try to get an emg?

my penis has gotten alot darker since the injury. i may have a mild ischemia, and i do have scar tissue inside of it. iv recently just bought some pentoxiflynn that will maybe help with the nerves. im so confused i dont wanna be numb anymore

anyone know if any scar tissue or lumps can have an affect on nerves in the penis?

**** i've been looking for this thread for this thread for months.

Update: Instead of not having intercourse and stuff for some dumb reason I did and not only has my orginal problems continued but my orgasms are less powerful which on top of everything esle is ******* me off. -.- I'm basiclly going to start off with everything you did and try my best to explain it to these ******** docters. It literally is like your finger gets stubbed in a **** door and everything just goes numb. There's no magical way to explain it that hits it right on the nail for me. I have went thru this problem once before so to all coming upon this post get off of this ******* thread and go see a doctor and DO NOT HAVE SEX. Do not let them tell you it's ******** and what your body is feeling makes no sense this is your ******* life take hold of it.

Diabetes
Broken Nerves
Blood Clot
Vessels Erupted

All thing you need to relay and ask a doc these are things I found other people researched or a doctor told them spanning from over hundreds of websites. People of the same excact problem but no cure I swear....anyhow just as long as this is documented so whoever sees hopefully I helped. I think the most ******* thing I did was get on the internet and search my problems when I should have went to a doctor. GO TO A DOCTOR.

(My orginal post is above from months ago hope I helped now im going to get my **** fixed :P)

I have the same problem. Its been about a week and has not gotten better.

Hey has any of you been able to reverse it?

How about taking B Vitamins, Omega 3 etc.. any encouraging stories?

I tried B vitamines and carnitine but i didn't solve the problem.
Anyone who can suggest anything?

Any updates on what is causing the numbness? I am 5 years out from my stretching injury and still have little sensitivity. I wish someone figured out what the issue is and possible fix...
