yeah they my uro would of told me about it in the soft tissue mri that i got back.

i really wish i just didnt squeeze my penis once i got the sensation back and its been 5 years already. im so sad. iv been praying so much that this isnt permanent.

Hey man,

I hear you guys, I have had the exact same problems. I did those stretching exercises (even though I didnt need to, I was just very insecure) and after masturbating one night I was left with little sensation in m penis and all the other classic symptoms.

Symptoms included, as Im sure you may have experienced:

- Lack of sensation
- Lack of nocturnal and spontaneous erection
-'Firm flaccid' penis

My Dr was absolutely of no help - he said to just take it easy and hope for the best.

I have found that in the year since it happened, Gingko Biloba has helped a lot and there are other similar products out there.

My feeling is that the nerves are so delicate etc that it will take a few years to fully rejuvenate.

Thanks and please share your thoughts on this

can someone tell me their opinion if they think my problem is permanent?

Omg! I wish I swear I had been around in 08 when this thread was created. *edit*

Short and simple: Before I even had a girlfriend or knew about vagina I was a 14 masterbating I rarely tried new things. But as always in the back of are darn mind we always wonder can it get better. Long story short I squezzed to hard and lost ALL sensation just like everyone has explained. It's not rockect science yes we can still get erections yes we can still ejaculate but we literally are numb!!! ethier because have squezzed are penises so hard or strecthed them to where we strecthed something inside. I can get erections (its extremely hard tho) and I can ejeculate but there is a incredible loss of sensation. It's like when you slam your finger in the door and it goes numb. But ten times worse I can't feel wind pain or nothing! So lets skip the explanations and jump back to the story 6 years later and here I am 20. My girlfriend comes over and wants to try something new O-O I say ok what? She says its baisiclly a cock ring (and it is) but a rubber band. Me knowing the use of it already (holds erections) I say ok 15 minutes later my penis dies. Literally slumps and not only that it receds into my body I literally have been walking around with a smaller penis. With no feeling whstsoever. So let me take you away from the sad story and bring you to the light. As a person who has experienced this whatever it is it heals....basiclly grab a calender and count backward from 2014 or 2015. Yep years. And did it ever go back to 100% hardness no it never ever phased me i thought about it........idk this time its definitely way worse. I'm glad I'm here to help I often see people post and never ever return well im here to tell you there's hope and its fine.

so iv gotten the results back for my mri for lumbar spine and pelvis and everything is fine. I talked to my uro today and he wants me to go back to the neurologist, so im going to do that. wish me luck

Charleston: is the underside of your penis numb? did you have any penile trauma?

do you have that feeling where subconsciously where u can feel your penis?

does anyone know if pentoxifylnn will help get the nerves back and running?

One member on our Thoracic Outlet forum researched pentoxifylline.

Here is the post:

I know very little besides what is on that post. Also unclear is whether longstanding damage can ever be reversed. But it is worth reading it in detail to evaluate it.

It sounds to me like you need a specialist --urologist for your answers.

thank you so much for replying mrsd! iv read some articles on how pentox helps with nerve damage plus softening and dissolving scar tissue.

i have some questions
is there vasa nervorum in the penis? like the blood vessels that supply blood and oxygen to the peripheral nerves? ever since i squeezed my penis losing my sensitivity, its been discolored like it isnt getting any fresh blood. almost like a shaded black, but it used to be very bright and yellow. so im thinking if the vasa vervnoum are compressed from the scar tissue and if the nerves arnt getting alot of fresh blood, mild ischemia can occur, right? which is causing my mild discoloration along with the numbness?

this is where i hope pentoxifylline might help, because the pentoxifylline makes the red blood cells flexible so they can squeeze in through the vasa nervorum and get blood and oxygen into the nerves.

i have another question, nerve injuries gradually heal right? but mine didnt, the sensation spontaneously returned after a session of masturbation and then i squeezed it again because i freaked out because i was ejaculating but not orgasming, which is the dumbest thing...i know i reminded how dumb it was everyday. are the nerve injuries that usually spontaneously return are those the injuries where a nerve is compressed and uncompresses itself?

iv also been taking b12, and i also went to the neurologist who looked at my dorsal nerves from the mri and told me everything looked fine, but how can it be when im this numb and i cant even feel my penis or feel my urethra when i pee.
i asked him if i could get a emg, but he said he dosent think it will help much and he dosent know much about that. so know i feel utterly helpless and dont know what to do. should i go to a urogloist who specializes in neurogenic dysfunction or should i go another neurologist and try to get an emg for the penis?

iv already been to my urologist who thinks i should go to a neurologist.

The people over at ** and** have seemed to come to the conclusion that this is a Pelvic Floor area muscular issue and not related to nerve damage at all but rather contracted muscles compressing nerves.

It seems that physical therapy is the only real cure for this.

If it is indeed tissue/bloodvessel/ or nerve damage in the penis then I guess only time, rest, and rehab can heal that. But many have gone years without much improvement. Pelvic floor and trigger point physical therapy so far has a better track record.

Has your condition gotten any better since you last wrote anything here?
