Sensation after surgery

Postby Ruktitan » Mon Mar 26, 2018 1:25 pm

Anyone noticed loss of sensation after surgery? Does it return/ how long? The entire underside of my shaft is completely numb still 4 days after surgery. I can feel the glans but nothing below?

I remember being pretty swollen 4 days after surgery, but had no loss of sensation, you may just need time to heal

For several days I only noticed the tenderness from the incision, but no numbness. I have heard here of other guys experiencing it so someone might chime in with their experience. My sensations are far better with the implant.

I had a puffy area under shaft & near scrotum. That's where the incision was and tubing/pump etc.
It was like that for a good couple weeks. Different areas swelling and coming down in their own time.
Swelling went down and that sensation came back after probably a few weeks if not a month.

Not to worry, I had similar worries early on.
It's true what they say, be patient and let your body heal. It's good at doing that :D

Cheers and happy healing to you!

For me, partial sensation after surgery, like 2 or 3 weeks. Full sensation like 4 months and it is awesome. Please be patient and do not think about it. Take vitamin E to help the nerve recover.

When they cut, there is always the chance they could cut nerves. Sometimes they rejuvenate, sometimes not so much. Sorry, can't really answer your question. :)

The whole underside of my penis was numb for a while after surgery, but resolved to the point that only the incision site was numb. It still is somewhat numb, but the rest of my penis is fine. Nerves heal or don’t heal at their own pace. Like a lot of orther aspects of implant recovery, it takes patience. I suck at patience. ;)

I am now in day 3 post op and have no swelling, bruising or pain in my penis or scrotum. I do have some sharp pain in the groin area where the drainage was inserted.

Penis is stil a bit tender but I do have sensation and no numbness

If you are worried go back to your doctor, I would suggest

Have the same problem with one addition. While the whole underside of my penis was numb, also I could not feel the urine passing when urinating. Very weird. I would have to look down so see if it was still coming out. I am 7 months past surgery and a little feeling is coming back to the underside. Not so much on the urination part. I told my doctor that I would re-evaluate at 1 year past.
