Numbness after Implant

Postby barfinkl1 » Thu Dec 15, 2011 8:35 pm

I had my implant (LGX) on 7 Nov and have been cleared by my uro for sex, however, my cock (shaft, glans and somewhat the frenulum) are numb, inhibiting orgasm. Other than that, it's wonderful. Has anyone else experienced numbness and how long did it take the get feeling back. My uro said if it doesn't return in a couple months, he'll prescribe a med for nerve regeneration, whiich may or may not work.

I have the same problem, and a lot of others have mentioned it also. I hope it will just go away over time, but I really don't know.....................

I went back and read all of the paperwork after my surgery and saw that it mentioned the possibility of "loss of sensitivity." Wish I had known about that earlier.........................

I'd be interested in finding out what drug would be prescribed for nerve regeneration.

Some men use viagra or other pills to increase their sensation with an implant. I have never tried it but have always wanted to since getting my implant. I too have a loss of sensitivity. Specifically to heat/warmth.

I too had the numbness for months after, it gradually went away. I would expect that will be the way yours will go. All this takes time, I am 11 months out from lgx implantion and thing are still changing to the good side. Just give it 6 months or so.

I don't have as much sensitivity, so the sensation I do get inhibits an climax. I haven't had complete numbness. Thanks for the tip; I'll ask my doctor re: nerve regeneration meds.
