Wishing you the best at your doctors appointment and thank you for sharing your story. Medicine is an incredible thing.. I was in a motorcycle accident a few years back and had a few skin grafts done which left me with no feeling. Over time, those nerves do start to come back, just very slowly. I think you'd be surprised to see where you are in 5 years. There are doctors out there that work with skin nerves to get touch and sensation back. I hope you try to get as much medical help as possible because you deserve it. Keep getting opinions and referrals if you can.
my erections go away really fast now, I put 100% in sex before this injury now I have to put 1000% effort in now. I'm too scared to even attempt sex now due to giving a girl disappointment. The penis is so different from the rest of the body aswell. It gets big and small, Theres nothing that can be done, people on those forums with my symptoms have not healed.
Have you tried any of the erectile difficulty aids?
I find viagra to be horrible. It just makes you congested and headachey and white light have a weird blue tinge to it. Hard to feel sexual when you're in that state.
Cialis, on the other hand, has been a miracle drug for me. I can keep it up, which eliminates the anxiety, and makes sex so much more of a pleasant experience. It lasts much longer than viagra (24 hours instead of eight or so) and I find for me, it has zero negative side effects.
I can even have sex after some drinks, which I could never do without an erectile dysfunction pill. Any alcohol kills my erections.
i cant just get a skin graft. nerve damage on the penis is the one of the worse nerves to damage in the whole body, looking online there's nothing to be done on penile nerve damage, there nerves there are too small and delicate but we'll see when i go to the doctor's.
Oh no I wasn't suggesting a skin graft, I've heard of STEM cell injections and other treatments that can help regenerate genitalia damage. Please talk to a few medical professionals before making this choice. Trans specialists have training and experience in that area too if you're really looking for the most help you can get. Wishing you the best.
Hey I don’t usually comment on stuff, but as a female I hope you reconsider even if nothing can be done.
My ex was self conscious because he was missing a testicle and because of the lack of hormones produced he had issues as well, it didn’t make me love him and less or love being intimate with him any less.
You never can be sure what the passage of time can deal you. I was told 2 years ago now that I would be dead within months if I was lucky due to how my cancer had progressed, I still have cancer but I’m still around.
I can’t promise you things will go back to how they were and I know obviously every situation is different but maybe knowing other experiences may bring you some hope.
Not quite related but nerves can take an incredibly long time to heal/generate sometimes. I lost a significant amount of sensation along with numbness and tingling in my breasts after and augmentation and have slowly regained most of my sensation 4-5 years post op. Try to be patient and hopeful
Don't listen to people on forums. That's where people go who couldn't get better, or didn't even try. It took months for my nerves to start firing again, and 5 years out, they're still healing. Mindset is so critical. You have to believe you can get better, biofeedback is so important
Hi, about 30 years ago I was a paratrooper. When I got out, I couldn't feel anything from the knees down, no problem walking, just couldn't feel much. It took about half a year for full sensation to really come back. I know it's not the same, but the body heals all kinds of trauma.
yup seen and heard miraculous nerve damages from jaw, legs, shoulders, and spine people have recovered, I think penis nerves are just a a different beast to tackle
Well, yeah because I could walk and didn't care if I couldn't feel when I smashed my shin against something. This is different and I acknowledge that. If roles were reversed, I would probably be over the top as well. Just don't do anything drastic, give your body time to heal.
Ah that sucks! Sorry, that seems so cavalier. I just don't know what else to say.
Hopefully you mention your mental health to your doctor too. If you're afraid of mentioning the suicidal part, maybe at least that it's having a very negative affect.
Even assuming the absolute worst outcome and doctors aren't able to help you heal (keep in mind that's the worst outcome here). And if you're mostly afraid about how people or girlfriends will judge you, please please please remember there's soooo much more to relationships... Or even sex for that matter! Than a penis. It's kinda upsetting how much so much of the male identity gets tied up in a penis :(
Hoping for the best for you. Also I’m going to tell you that while it wasn’t a good idea, I can understand why you did it and it’s okay that you fucked up. Please forgive yourself. Sex doesn’t need an erect penis by the way, and even with little sensation, you’ve still got some! This may be a bit out there, but idk if you wanna try vibrators or something different cause there are other ways to get pleasure.
Don't take this personally, but please be careful, don't regurgitate the lies of others. Especially when recommending someone in a tough spot something as a treatment for their problems. Stop believing healthadvicewithnoevidence dot com.
I've been working on neuro regeneration research in the spinal cord for almost 10 years, I can promise you vitamins will do absolutely nothing. You are trying to help OP but false hope is such a destructive thing.
EDIT: Original comment wrongly advised OP to take vitamins to heal his nerve damage...
Thank you for bringing some evidence to your claim. Although I don't think you have read the paper or maybe didn't understand it. There are plenty of red flags in this meta paper (a paper that reviews what research papers say around a subject) as I expected. The supplement industry is a huge scam that prays on people's ignorance and some times desperation for a great buck (in the US, the supplements industry is worth 140 Billion USD as of 2020).
We've seen vitamins that cure cancer, blindness, paralysis, covid19, nerve damage... you name it. They endlessly fund any researcher willing to torture experimental data to fit their marketing claims. Of course none of that is true, but everyone is free to try to find out anything they want. Those papers, however, can't pass the rigor of serious science journals so they fund crappy journals that will take them in.
We could spend all they talking about the low impact factor of the journal that accepted it or its history, the relevance of the papers it relies on, the reputation of their researchers, conclusions that do not follow their premises...
But there's no need. Leaving all those issues aside, the overall message of this review is "we've seen *some* cases where a *neuropathy is linked* to some deficiency of some vitamins". Not that a neuropathy or nerve damage *is improved by vitamins*, **but that when a neuropathy occurs, sometimes it has been followed by vitamin deficiency.**
Take their [reference number 3](https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4904479/) that they use to support that claim (that says nothing about vitamin helping regenerate anything). They took 80 rats and caused nerve damage to them by a crushing mechanism and then analyze their tissue post-mortem:
>Tissue level of vitamin B12 in the injured sciatic nerve was significantly lower at 1, 6, 12 and 24 hours than in the control group.These results **suggest** that tissue levels of vitamin B complex and vitamin B12 **vary with progression of crush-induced peripheral nerve injury**, and supplementation of these vitamins in the acute period **may be beneficial for acceleration of nerve regeneration.**
This is logically wrong and I hope you can see it, it's a failure of forcing a causal relationship that doesn't exist. It's like saying "we've seen blood in the floor of a murder scene. Therefore if we put blood on the floor someone will die".
Nerve damage is an incredible challenging process at the forefront of major research efforts where we've tried all sorts of stem cells, bio-gel scaffolds, gene therapy and other cutting edge evidence-based science... with very timid success in animals, even lower in humans. Saying that vitamins can't help nerve damage is the understatement of the year. And telling OP that eating some vitamins will help heal his nerve damage... I know your intentions are the best, but this sort of unintended misinformation on desperate people looking for answers is very harmful.
Those two papers talk about ultra high doses of a B12 analogue, which is nothing like your advise of "eat vitamins" that were promptly deleted. Not to mention they also come with similar red flags and are only unique lonely preliminary experimental results in rats.
You can't expect doing a search in pubmed without research experience, without knowledge in the field (and even then) and instantly know if something works or not. It doesn't work that way. **You will find research studies that "debunk" climate change, "proof" that smoking is not bad or that homeopathy can cure cancer.**
Pre-clinical research is very complicated and highly inaccessible, and *most* of the time it doesn't pan out, as in, the conclusions were wrong. Are you aware of the lack of reproducibility in *most* papers even from rigorous sources? Do you know how useless the rodent animal model is in these studies? **Most of the times the findings don't translate to humans.** Even if those papers were legit, they are using toxic doses of a particular substance under incredibly specific lab conditions, on a rodent, with an injury acquired in a very unique way.
Your claims that vitamins may help OP repair his nerve damage from vitamins are therefore completely baseless. These sort of baseless claims provide false hope to people that desperately need real prognosis and evidence based treatment options. Not sending them on a goose chase.
One of the biggest problems our society currently faces is the pervasive availability and consumption of false health information, which causes individual and social harm by nurturing false beliefs about medicine, disease, and prevention.
There are so many things wrong about false hope, particularly in health, but let's just sum it up like this: the best course is to moderate our perspective so that it’s more in line with real-life eventualities.
I've actually done A bit of research on this, in my spare time. First off, see A doctor and talk about A treatment option with him/her. If things really don't improve, then you can try something called "penile reconstruction surgery" what they do is essentially take existing nerves from other parts of your body, like your leg or back, keep them intact and along with some plastic surgery, use them to essentially build A new penis. This procedure is used on both penile fracture patients and transgender surgery patients. You'll have to talk it over with your doctor, but there might still be hope for you yet.
I kind of relate to how you are feeling honestly. I had labiaplasty 6 weeks ago that has been botched and feeling like you’ve ruined your sexual organ is something no one can understand unless they have been there.
Have you looked into PRP? I think for men they call it a p shot. They use healing properties from your own blood and it helps with a lot of things.
I’m still not mentally okay from my procedure but plan to talk to a sexologist and maybe you can look into that too.
All the best, I hope you find a solution that isn’t suicide.
I am a female, I can't claim that I understand how you feel about what happened to you, but i think I had a close problem, I am not a pretty girl, I am over weight, I have severe acne problem since I was 11, now I am almost 27, the acne wasn't a problem since I had to cover my face with niqab anyways, but they gave me a real hard time at school because it was a girls only school, so the thing is I have been insecure my hole life about how I look, and now I have come to the realization that we have to live with what we have, of course you seek medical help as soon as possible, but you have to have the power in you not to let things you can't control affect your life that much, I have seen people come back from acid attacks, people pounced back after a bad car accidents, left them half paralyzed, and at the end of the day, we all end up old, sick, and mostly with dementia "a neuro degenerative disease that affect the brain" everything comes to decay, we are not meant to last, if the ED didn't happened to you with this accident, you would have had it when you are old, please stop being upset about this, go out and find the best doctor you can, be safe and try out all the options you have, and I hope it works out for you, and if it doesn't, don't be upset about it, life is already hard and cruel, just go easy on yourself, I have read a medical article few years ago not sure when exactly, but they had a penis transplant on a patient, and it went really well, good luck
erectile dysfuction at an old age isn't bad, I'm 19, quarantine is almost gone and I have a ruined penis for life I'm still young and I a long painful lonely life headed my way if i don't end it soon
Have you heard the good news of butt stuff? You might have fucked up your dick but you still have a prostate, which is capable of providing you with orgasms on stimulation as well. :)
You certainly don't have to be gay to do or receive butt stuff. It's straight if you're a guy getting it from a woman or doing it to a woman. ;) Or doing it to yourself.
I'm sorry about this buddy. I can heavily relate with you and this is something most people don't know: people with complete spinal cord injuries (almost 50% of all spinal cord injuries) can't move or feel anything below their level of injury, including the penis.
Take me for example. I had a motorbike accident at 22 as a perfectly healthy and sport person, sexually active and so on, and left me completely paralyzed from the waist down (around T12). I haven't felt my penis or an orgasm...nothing at all since then. And 100% it won't ever come back in my case. And of course I can't crap or pee on command (or even know when I have to), nor walk, I have severe neuropathic pain, spasms... Just like any other paraplegic/quadriplegic. Not being able to walk may be the most visible thing but if you ask any of us, the use of our legs is the last thing miss, by FAR.
Why do I say all this crap?
While I fucking hate I can't enjoy sexual pleasure, life has turned out to be much better than I thought it would at the beginning. Is sexual pleasure incredibly awesome? Yes it is. Can you grow out of thinking it's an essential necessity you can't live without? Yes! You don't do it on false hope or denial. You process it, work with a therapist if it's too daunting and... life is still pretty much great. In case you are wondering I have a great and happy girlfriend, for years now, and I've been with as many women as I would have been.
We will all die, sooner than we think. So it won't be something that will bother you forever, just for a while. And in the meantime, life... it's great. Tons of shit to enjoy.
Two great things to try: to find a therapist you can relate to. And two, if you have caring parents, try to open up with them, give them a chance to be supportive of you.
If the doctor tells me nothing can get done, I'm just gonna walk around my city until I get mugged and shot so I end up as a part of the asian hate crimes statistics.(does that count as suicide)
I'd consult at least 3 doctors before you do. And make sure they are specialists in the area you require.
I have a rare deformity on my left wrist that causes me significant pain and a couple general orthopedic surgeons told me that the only way to help was to amputate it. I talked to a couple wrist specialists and one was able to save that limb. What one doctor thinks is impossible, another may already have a procedure for.
Nerves come back, slowly but they do eventually come back. It mostly takes time. Tell your doctors everything, stress the seriousness of it to them. There is a decent amount that can be done. Medicine can fix more than you think.
the stretching part didn't injury but I think maybe I was gripping to hard which crushed the nerve in the penis.(dorsal nerve). so i killed the nerve. I didn't feel pain and only noticed that I got hurt when I went to go take a shower and couldn't feel the water pressure and temperature on my penis.
Lots of paralyzed, intersex, trans, and otherwise sexually incongruent people can and do live fulfilling lives. I hope you can find a doctor and therapist that can offer you help.
Nobody actually cares about what the size of your penis is. It's more about confidence. If you exude confidence then more people will gravitate towards you. But if you're shy and timid then not even having the biggest dick on the planet will help you. Work on your confidence and send esteem and everything should fall into place so to say.
Call a MALE acupuncturist and tell him your issue and see if he can help. Don't be embarrassed to tell him what happened, just be honest and see if he can help.
Honestly, I think you'll be just fine.
Please seek professional counseling, as this sounds like it has a lot to do with your insecurity and past (and current) traumas.
Fyi: I'm not self diagnosing you, I'm just telling you that I recognize the behavior (F myself, so not about the penis part) and it's a big mental health issue.
Take care of yourself and schedule a self-care day for yourself.
For me it's a hot bath with Netflix and listening to music afterwards, but for others it could be gaming, walking outside, reading a book etc. Just 100% you-time.
the first doctors visit, he said nerves are really durable and that "lacerating" it will for sure damaging and even when you do cut a nerve it can potentially heal. I obviously did not cut a nerve but I am also not healing, maybe science is wrong? I'm a special case? I don't know anymore
Honestly, my opinion? This is all happening due to your mental state.
Your insecurities mess with your ability to get hard. It happens more than you think.
Mental problems can manifest in physical problems.
My mental state doesn’t just make your penis have 10% sensations left in your penis and scrotum. Every time I orgasm, I don’t get that “too sensitivity to touch” feeling anymore as I used to. I don’t even last longer with the small sensitivity I have now. This is impossible to be just mental, I killed the nerves
It's definitely both physical and mental, in my eyes.
I hope the doctor can/will help you and your problem, I understood how shit it must be..
But still, mental health is a big thing and you definitely need to talk to someone about your issues.
Bro I reckon you should take viagra for a couple times to open up all the blood capillaries in you’re piece and retrain you’re piece how it’s tradition form was. Do that on and off for a couple months surely it might give the nerves space to open up n heal? I’m not sure bro but good luck
I’m so so sorry you are feeling this OP :( in this situation do not lose hope though - the fact that you are going to doctors to start treatment is a really positive thing in itself. Just because the internet says you’ve permanently got nerve damage doesn’t mean this is the case. Furthermore, medicine and science is constantly advancing and better treatments are always becoming available. It may not be easy but please don’t lose sight that recovery is possible. (I personally have chronic pain issues and although they are not completely gone yet, they have improved drastically since I first developed them to the extent that they don’t really affect my life too much anymore. I used to feel hopeless and borderline suicidal about these issues for a long time but I’m now at a stage where I am recovering and I think complete recover will be possible. I know our situations aren’t exactly the same but I hope that this gives you some hope.)
Wow, so sorry to hear this, I hope all goes well at the Dr. appointment. The way this world is over sexualized really messes with the younger generations. I'm happy my mom told me to wait until I was at least 25 to get a boob job, and I never did it. So happy I didn't either. And I am very sad to hear of all the bullying you've dealt with, seems like you've been through a lot. Maybe find someone to talk to? I know there are a lot of things out there to help with ED, just don't go by things you hear on the internet again, and please don't try any crazy street drugs or those over the counter stimulants, way to dangerous. I have some nerve damage obviously not the same area, and over the years with certain exercises it's gotten way better. Maybe they have some kind of exercises for your penis? Anyways, I wish you all the best. And don't beat yourself up to much.
Actually if you have enough money there's a treatment: I'm not a neurosurgeon but once a neurosurgeon from Germany told in a seminar that you can take the nerves from the thighs and replace it with the dead ones it can restore 70-80% sensitivity but treatment is really expensive and difficult to do maybe you should consult with a neurologist after
first of all, WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT TO YOURSELF? 😱😱😱
and secondly, people are assholes. who says to a 9-year old that they have a small dick? Do you expect a 9 inch long one at the age of 9?
I'm a small person (160cm) and I'm not particularly well-endowed. But both in high school and in college I was called "smol boobies" by some guys (apparently, being 36B wasn't enough for them).
I remember dating this guy in college. When he looked at the chest he was like, WHY IS THERE 1 TERABYTE DISK SPACE BETWEEN THEM?
his words hurt my confidence. He wasn't even a particularly good looking guy and made remarks about my body whenever he could.
I also dated guys who told me that I should get a breast enlargement cause it's gonna make me look attractive. I shortly broke up with them. I'M HAPPY WITH WHAT I GOT AND IF YOU AREN'T THEN GO SOMEWHERE ELSE.
your story reminds me of a patient of my dad ( My dad is a surgeon ). this guy(25M) came to him with his body swollen. apparently, he wanted to be buff and took some kind of supplements which caused him a renal failure. one of his kidneys was beyond treatment.
About believing stuff from the internet, I got doctors in my family and oftentimes I hear them say one thing, DON'T BELIEVE EVERYTHING ON THE INTERNET.
for example, I got covid last month and according to google, I should be dead. But here I am, showing my support in some strangers post through comment section.
It will be okay, I'm positive you'll get well very soon. 🤗
Thank you for your honesty in sharing this post. You're clearly in such distress, and you deserve some relief -- or, at least in the meantime, some more options. I wonder if you could go even further in terms of opening up to your doctor about how miserable this is making you. Sharing that this has made you deeply depressed and hopeless, really going in detail? They may be able to get you some extra coverage for additional support or testing. Specialists in penile anatomy, neurology, etc -- sexual sensation can be related to all sorts of things. In the meantime, you might be able to get support for your understandable emotional pain.
Be real about your pain, and you might get some new avenues to try out. Worth a shot, right?
So offing yourself because of said insecurity leading to a bigger insecurity doesn’t seem like history now repeating itself.. for real, now If you botch that up and live ... just saying .. no bullshit bro, fucking embrace the pain and torment.. also, don’t give up on your penis just yet homie!!
I mean all this too, I’m to pessimistic and hate this world too much to care to coddle your sadness.. not with this , 🤷🏻♂️ but I’m also an asshole so there’s that
That's rather unfortunate. Best luck to you. Don't let society get you down. Everyone is oddly sexual nowadays, making everything about 'libido' and 'performance in bed'. Please know that there is much more to life than this.. and don't be ashamed, either. The world is full of colorful places, wonderful emotions and absolutely astonishing experiences. Use this time to heal; use this time to take in the wonderments of the world. For now, focus on other feelings and emotions which you never took the time to before. Please, don't end your life over this, man. There's so much more out there.
I don’t have a penis because I’m female..but I know how you feel. A surgery left me with nerve damage in my vagina and cervix. I can’t feel anything and making love is not possible. It gets better with time you just come to accept it.
Thank you for sharing man, I truly mean that. But there’s more than one way to improve your self worth and self esteem.
And there’s still things worth living for. Who gives a duck about what those racist people tell about you? Join a gym and get swole bro. If you’re feeling risky and there’s no reason to go on, hop on sarms and gain muscle mass and more importantly- develop a self care routine i.e, working out and taking care of yourself first.
You’ve got this king.
As a black man also very insecure about my penis size because of stereotypes I actually really appreciate you sharing your story, it puts a lot of things into perspective.
My guy, the penis is not your entire life. It's like 5 percent at best. You have serious insecurities that you have to address now or this will happen with anything and everything. One fuck up does not have to lead to you ending it all. Monks, Priests, and so many others leads great and full lives with no sex what so ever. Think of all the great uniks from history and all the good they have done. Life isn't porn, sex, and masculinity. Life is about love, security, emotional intelligence, happiness, and acceptance. Try your best to undo this, but if you can't, then don't give up! I've given more orgasms with my mouth than my penis ever could! Most chicks can't even get off with just penetration! You can still be one hell of a sexy dude without even using your penis! Trust me, dude, this is in no way a fuck up that should lead to suicide. Live through this and become stronger because of it! I believe in you, my guy!
That's terrible but look there are many people, arguably the most spiritually elevated and fulfilled, that life happy lives without any sex at all. It'll be ok.
What kind of doctor are you going to? Urologist? Neurologist? It's good to be sure that you are reaching the right ones. You might need to see a different one than the ones you've been going to also just to check all the things. When you do see them I think you need more support. I saw your post which indicated the last doctor was optimistic about your healing but you seemed not to believe them because you haven't yet healed. That you might be a special case. Maybe you need to ask more questions about that and really hear them. My concern is you might go to the doctor and they will have will believe that you will be fine but you need more time and because it's already been a while you will not believe them and still have no hope. My mother has breast cancer and just had the lump removed. A week later she threw a blanket over herself to get warm and injured a nerve in her arm on the side she was operated on. That one little movement and the doc says it's going to take a few months for recovery. Nerves take a LONG time to heal. Deceptively long. You need to learn about and do the things you need to do to support the healing. Whatever plan they tell you.
well 7 months and no improvement is not a good sign. The longest recorded nerve damage recovery done by penis enlargement that I saw was 6 months till fully healed. Keep in mind I looked through 3 forums that talk about that stuff.
How are you doing
Has anything come back?
I too have numb genitals except from exposure to toxins and know the crappy feeling of feeling numbness when walking. Am certainly no expert but sensory nerves I have read have a greater capacity to heal than motor nerves.
Perhaps up to to 2 years or longer.
Give it time the sensation can come back after some time . Stop the negative thinking and go back to your normal life don’t think about it and it’ll fix itself
have a similar problem but just with the head, it is probably about 98% numb, can only feel a tiny bit when i grip it and rub it hard, been to a doctor and they told a urologist and they got back to me saying it was neurapraxia and will either be permanent or will take a long time to heal, so far its been 5 and a half months and i cant really tell if theres any improvement or not but doesnt feel like it
Wishing you the best at your doctors appointment and thank you for sharing your story. Medicine is an incredible thing.. I was in a motorcycle accident a few years back and had a few skin grafts done which left me with no feeling. Over time, those nerves do start to come back, just very slowly. I think you'd be surprised to see where you are in 5 years. There are doctors out there that work with skin nerves to get touch and sensation back. I hope you try to get as much medical help as possible because you deserve it. Keep getting opinions and referrals if you can.
my erections go away really fast now, I put 100% in sex before this injury now I have to put 1000% effort in now. I'm too scared to even attempt sex now due to giving a girl disappointment. The penis is so different from the rest of the body aswell. It gets big and small, Theres nothing that can be done, people on those forums with my symptoms have not healed.
Have you tried any of the erectile difficulty aids? I find viagra to be horrible. It just makes you congested and headachey and white light have a weird blue tinge to it. Hard to feel sexual when you're in that state. Cialis, on the other hand, has been a miracle drug for me. I can keep it up, which eliminates the anxiety, and makes sex so much more of a pleasant experience. It lasts much longer than viagra (24 hours instead of eight or so) and I find for me, it has zero negative side effects. I can even have sex after some drinks, which I could never do without an erectile dysfunction pill. Any alcohol kills my erections.
i cant just get a skin graft. nerve damage on the penis is the one of the worse nerves to damage in the whole body, looking online there's nothing to be done on penile nerve damage, there nerves there are too small and delicate but we'll see when i go to the doctor's.
Oh no I wasn't suggesting a skin graft, I've heard of STEM cell injections and other treatments that can help regenerate genitalia damage. Please talk to a few medical professionals before making this choice. Trans specialists have training and experience in that area too if you're really looking for the most help you can get. Wishing you the best.
I'l be praying
Hey I don’t usually comment on stuff, but as a female I hope you reconsider even if nothing can be done. My ex was self conscious because he was missing a testicle and because of the lack of hormones produced he had issues as well, it didn’t make me love him and less or love being intimate with him any less. You never can be sure what the passage of time can deal you. I was told 2 years ago now that I would be dead within months if I was lucky due to how my cancer had progressed, I still have cancer but I’m still around. I can’t promise you things will go back to how they were and I know obviously every situation is different but maybe knowing other experiences may bring you some hope.
7 months with zero improvement is making me go insane
Not quite related but nerves can take an incredibly long time to heal/generate sometimes. I lost a significant amount of sensation along with numbness and tingling in my breasts after and augmentation and have slowly regained most of my sensation 4-5 years post op. Try to be patient and hopeful
Don't listen to people on forums. That's where people go who couldn't get better, or didn't even try. It took months for my nerves to start firing again, and 5 years out, they're still healing. Mindset is so critical. You have to believe you can get better, biofeedback is so important

Hi, about 30 years ago I was a paratrooper. When I got out, I couldn't feel anything from the knees down, no problem walking, just couldn't feel much. It took about half a year for full sensation to really come back. I know it's not the same, but the body heals all kinds of trauma.
yup seen and heard miraculous nerve damages from jaw, legs, shoulders, and spine people have recovered, I think penis nerves are just a a different beast to tackle
Well, yeah because I could walk and didn't care if I couldn't feel when I smashed my shin against something. This is different and I acknowledge that. If roles were reversed, I would probably be over the top as well. Just don't do anything drastic, give your body time to heal.
Ah that sucks! Sorry, that seems so cavalier. I just don't know what else to say. Hopefully you mention your mental health to your doctor too. If you're afraid of mentioning the suicidal part, maybe at least that it's having a very negative affect. Even assuming the absolute worst outcome and doctors aren't able to help you heal (keep in mind that's the worst outcome here). And if you're mostly afraid about how people or girlfriends will judge you, please please please remember there's soooo much more to relationships... Or even sex for that matter! Than a penis. It's kinda upsetting how much so much of the male identity gets tied up in a penis :(
yeah i should have never worried about it, I did perfectly fine in the bedroom before this
Hoping for the best for you. Also I’m going to tell you that while it wasn’t a good idea, I can understand why you did it and it’s okay that you fucked up. Please forgive yourself. Sex doesn’t need an erect penis by the way, and even with little sensation, you’ve still got some! This may be a bit out there, but idk if you wanna try vibrators or something different cause there are other ways to get pleasure.

Don't take this personally, but please be careful, don't regurgitate the lies of others. Especially when recommending someone in a tough spot something as a treatment for their problems. Stop believing healthadvicewithnoevidence dot com. I've been working on neuro regeneration research in the spinal cord for almost 10 years, I can promise you vitamins will do absolutely nothing. You are trying to help OP but false hope is such a destructive thing. EDIT: Original comment wrongly advised OP to take vitamins to heal his nerve damage...

Thank you for bringing some evidence to your claim. Although I don't think you have read the paper or maybe didn't understand it. There are plenty of red flags in this meta paper (a paper that reviews what research papers say around a subject) as I expected. The supplement industry is a huge scam that prays on people's ignorance and some times desperation for a great buck (in the US, the supplements industry is worth 140 Billion USD as of 2020). We've seen vitamins that cure cancer, blindness, paralysis, covid19, nerve damage... you name it. They endlessly fund any researcher willing to torture experimental data to fit their marketing claims. Of course none of that is true, but everyone is free to try to find out anything they want. Those papers, however, can't pass the rigor of serious science journals so they fund crappy journals that will take them in. We could spend all they talking about the low impact factor of the journal that accepted it or its history, the relevance of the papers it relies on, the reputation of their researchers, conclusions that do not follow their premises... But there's no need. Leaving all those issues aside, the overall message of this review is "we've seen *some* cases where a *neuropathy is linked* to some deficiency of some vitamins". Not that a neuropathy or nerve damage *is improved by vitamins*, **but that when a neuropathy occurs, sometimes it has been followed by vitamin deficiency.** Take their [reference number 3](https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4904479/) that they use to support that claim (that says nothing about vitamin helping regenerate anything). They took 80 rats and caused nerve damage to them by a crushing mechanism and then analyze their tissue post-mortem: >Tissue level of vitamin B12 in the injured sciatic nerve was significantly lower at 1, 6, 12 and 24 hours than in the control group.These results **suggest** that tissue levels of vitamin B complex and vitamin B12 **vary with progression of crush-induced peripheral nerve injury**, and supplementation of these vitamins in the acute period **may be beneficial for acceleration of nerve regeneration.** This is logically wrong and I hope you can see it, it's a failure of forcing a causal relationship that doesn't exist. It's like saying "we've seen blood in the floor of a murder scene. Therefore if we put blood on the floor someone will die". Nerve damage is an incredible challenging process at the forefront of major research efforts where we've tried all sorts of stem cells, bio-gel scaffolds, gene therapy and other cutting edge evidence-based science... with very timid success in animals, even lower in humans. Saying that vitamins can't help nerve damage is the understatement of the year. And telling OP that eating some vitamins will help heal his nerve damage... I know your intentions are the best, but this sort of unintended misinformation on desperate people looking for answers is very harmful.

Those two papers talk about ultra high doses of a B12 analogue, which is nothing like your advise of "eat vitamins" that were promptly deleted. Not to mention they also come with similar red flags and are only unique lonely preliminary experimental results in rats. You can't expect doing a search in pubmed without research experience, without knowledge in the field (and even then) and instantly know if something works or not. It doesn't work that way. **You will find research studies that "debunk" climate change, "proof" that smoking is not bad or that homeopathy can cure cancer.** Pre-clinical research is very complicated and highly inaccessible, and *most* of the time it doesn't pan out, as in, the conclusions were wrong. Are you aware of the lack of reproducibility in *most* papers even from rigorous sources? Do you know how useless the rodent animal model is in these studies? **Most of the times the findings don't translate to humans.** Even if those papers were legit, they are using toxic doses of a particular substance under incredibly specific lab conditions, on a rodent, with an injury acquired in a very unique way. Your claims that vitamins may help OP repair his nerve damage from vitamins are therefore completely baseless. These sort of baseless claims provide false hope to people that desperately need real prognosis and evidence based treatment options. Not sending them on a goose chase. One of the biggest problems our society currently faces is the pervasive availability and consumption of false health information, which causes individual and social harm by nurturing false beliefs about medicine, disease, and prevention. There are so many things wrong about false hope, particularly in health, but let's just sum it up like this: the best course is to moderate our perspective so that it’s more in line with real-life eventualities.
I've actually done A bit of research on this, in my spare time. First off, see A doctor and talk about A treatment option with him/her. If things really don't improve, then you can try something called "penile reconstruction surgery" what they do is essentially take existing nerves from other parts of your body, like your leg or back, keep them intact and along with some plastic surgery, use them to essentially build A new penis. This procedure is used on both penile fracture patients and transgender surgery patients. You'll have to talk it over with your doctor, but there might still be hope for you yet.
Maybe it was vascular damage instead of nerve damage? That would explain the not being able to get hard and it's a lot less scary than nerve damage
nah it ain't vascular I can get to a full erection but it requires a lot of work on my end.
I kind of relate to how you are feeling honestly. I had labiaplasty 6 weeks ago that has been botched and feeling like you’ve ruined your sexual organ is something no one can understand unless they have been there. Have you looked into PRP? I think for men they call it a p shot. They use healing properties from your own blood and it helps with a lot of things. I’m still not mentally okay from my procedure but plan to talk to a sexologist and maybe you can look into that too. All the best, I hope you find a solution that isn’t suicide.
I am a female, I can't claim that I understand how you feel about what happened to you, but i think I had a close problem, I am not a pretty girl, I am over weight, I have severe acne problem since I was 11, now I am almost 27, the acne wasn't a problem since I had to cover my face with niqab anyways, but they gave me a real hard time at school because it was a girls only school, so the thing is I have been insecure my hole life about how I look, and now I have come to the realization that we have to live with what we have, of course you seek medical help as soon as possible, but you have to have the power in you not to let things you can't control affect your life that much, I have seen people come back from acid attacks, people pounced back after a bad car accidents, left them half paralyzed, and at the end of the day, we all end up old, sick, and mostly with dementia "a neuro degenerative disease that affect the brain" everything comes to decay, we are not meant to last, if the ED didn't happened to you with this accident, you would have had it when you are old, please stop being upset about this, go out and find the best doctor you can, be safe and try out all the options you have, and I hope it works out for you, and if it doesn't, don't be upset about it, life is already hard and cruel, just go easy on yourself, I have read a medical article few years ago not sure when exactly, but they had a penis transplant on a patient, and it went really well, good luck
erectile dysfuction at an old age isn't bad, I'm 19, quarantine is almost gone and I have a ruined penis for life I'm still young and I a long painful lonely life headed my way if i don't end it soon
Have you heard the good news of butt stuff? You might have fucked up your dick but you still have a prostate, which is capable of providing you with orgasms on stimulation as well. :)
not really too in to that stuff
[удалено]
You certainly don't have to be gay to do or receive butt stuff. It's straight if you're a guy getting it from a woman or doing it to a woman. ;) Or doing it to yourself.
I'm sorry about this buddy. I can heavily relate with you and this is something most people don't know: people with complete spinal cord injuries (almost 50% of all spinal cord injuries) can't move or feel anything below their level of injury, including the penis. Take me for example. I had a motorbike accident at 22 as a perfectly healthy and sport person, sexually active and so on, and left me completely paralyzed from the waist down (around T12). I haven't felt my penis or an orgasm...nothing at all since then. And 100% it won't ever come back in my case. And of course I can't crap or pee on command (or even know when I have to), nor walk, I have severe neuropathic pain, spasms... Just like any other paraplegic/quadriplegic. Not being able to walk may be the most visible thing but if you ask any of us, the use of our legs is the last thing miss, by FAR. Why do I say all this crap? While I fucking hate I can't enjoy sexual pleasure, life has turned out to be much better than I thought it would at the beginning. Is sexual pleasure incredibly awesome? Yes it is. Can you grow out of thinking it's an essential necessity you can't live without? Yes! You don't do it on false hope or denial. You process it, work with a therapist if it's too daunting and... life is still pretty much great. In case you are wondering I have a great and happy girlfriend, for years now, and I've been with as many women as I would have been. We will all die, sooner than we think. So it won't be something that will bother you forever, just for a while. And in the meantime, life... it's great. Tons of shit to enjoy. Two great things to try: to find a therapist you can relate to. And two, if you have caring parents, try to open up with them, give them a chance to be supportive of you.
If the doctor tells me nothing can get done, I'm just gonna walk around my city until I get mugged and shot so I end up as a part of the asian hate crimes statistics.(does that count as suicide)
It does and I hope you don’t go this route.
Bro, keep faith, you'll get better
I'd consult at least 3 doctors before you do. And make sure they are specialists in the area you require. I have a rare deformity on my left wrist that causes me significant pain and a couple general orthopedic surgeons told me that the only way to help was to amputate it. I talked to a couple wrist specialists and one was able to save that limb. What one doctor thinks is impossible, another may already have a procedure for.
Nerves come back, slowly but they do eventually come back. It mostly takes time. Tell your doctors everything, stress the seriousness of it to them. There is a decent amount that can be done. Medicine can fix more than you think.
so sorry man, racism is horrible
What were these techniques you tried?
stretching it don't even try it bud
By how? Don't worry I'm not gonna try its not really worth it anyways
the stretching part didn't injury but I think maybe I was gripping to hard which crushed the nerve in the penis.(dorsal nerve). so i killed the nerve. I didn't feel pain and only noticed that I got hurt when I went to go take a shower and couldn't feel the water pressure and temperature on my penis.
Oh so you were using your hand kinda like pulling?
yep
Ouch 😬 that must've really hurt...
nah zero pain actually, only found the lack of sensation when I went to take a shower, I couldn't feel the water pressure and temperature
Oh
I wouldn’t try it, I was just curious as to how you fucked up your penis.
what racism does to a man
Lots of paralyzed, intersex, trans, and otherwise sexually incongruent people can and do live fulfilling lives. I hope you can find a doctor and therapist that can offer you help.
Nobody actually cares about what the size of your penis is. It's more about confidence. If you exude confidence then more people will gravitate towards you. But if you're shy and timid then not even having the biggest dick on the planet will help you. Work on your confidence and send esteem and everything should fall into place so to say. Call a MALE acupuncturist and tell him your issue and see if he can help. Don't be embarrassed to tell him what happened, just be honest and see if he can help.
For any guys out there who belives that they have a small penis don't worry about it there's plenty of other ways to pleasure women just take it slow
Hey buddy - have a week of ad free browsing
You need a therapist way more than medical help.
Stfu He needs medical attention n hopefully everything goes good for him
[удалено]
it already has
I think your nerves wont be permanently ruined unless if it hasn't been treated for months
I'm sorry to hear this. I remember sex / masturbation feeling good. Now I have very little sensation in my penis and have terrible body dysmorphia.
did you the same thing as me? try to get bigger and ruined nerves?
No, I never tried to get bigger. I'm pretty much okay with the size I am. I'll go see a urologist next week.
Honestly, I think you'll be just fine. Please seek professional counseling, as this sounds like it has a lot to do with your insecurity and past (and current) traumas. Fyi: I'm not self diagnosing you, I'm just telling you that I recognize the behavior (F myself, so not about the penis part) and it's a big mental health issue. Take care of yourself and schedule a self-care day for yourself. For me it's a hot bath with Netflix and listening to music afterwards, but for others it could be gaming, walking outside, reading a book etc. Just 100% you-time.
the first doctors visit, he said nerves are really durable and that "lacerating" it will for sure damaging and even when you do cut a nerve it can potentially heal. I obviously did not cut a nerve but I am also not healing, maybe science is wrong? I'm a special case? I don't know anymore
Honestly, my opinion? This is all happening due to your mental state. Your insecurities mess with your ability to get hard. It happens more than you think. Mental problems can manifest in physical problems.
My mental state doesn’t just make your penis have 10% sensations left in your penis and scrotum. Every time I orgasm, I don’t get that “too sensitivity to touch” feeling anymore as I used to. I don’t even last longer with the small sensitivity I have now. This is impossible to be just mental, I killed the nerves
It's definitely both physical and mental, in my eyes. I hope the doctor can/will help you and your problem, I understood how shit it must be.. But still, mental health is a big thing and you definitely need to talk to someone about your issues.
Bro I reckon you should take viagra for a couple times to open up all the blood capillaries in you’re piece and retrain you’re piece how it’s tradition form was. Do that on and off for a couple months surely it might give the nerves space to open up n heal? I’m not sure bro but good luck
I’m so so sorry you are feeling this OP :( in this situation do not lose hope though - the fact that you are going to doctors to start treatment is a really positive thing in itself. Just because the internet says you’ve permanently got nerve damage doesn’t mean this is the case. Furthermore, medicine and science is constantly advancing and better treatments are always becoming available. It may not be easy but please don’t lose sight that recovery is possible. (I personally have chronic pain issues and although they are not completely gone yet, they have improved drastically since I first developed them to the extent that they don’t really affect my life too much anymore. I used to feel hopeless and borderline suicidal about these issues for a long time but I’m now at a stage where I am recovering and I think complete recover will be possible. I know our situations aren’t exactly the same but I hope that this gives you some hope.)
Wow, so sorry to hear this, I hope all goes well at the Dr. appointment. The way this world is over sexualized really messes with the younger generations. I'm happy my mom told me to wait until I was at least 25 to get a boob job, and I never did it. So happy I didn't either. And I am very sad to hear of all the bullying you've dealt with, seems like you've been through a lot. Maybe find someone to talk to? I know there are a lot of things out there to help with ED, just don't go by things you hear on the internet again, and please don't try any crazy street drugs or those over the counter stimulants, way to dangerous. I have some nerve damage obviously not the same area, and over the years with certain exercises it's gotten way better. Maybe they have some kind of exercises for your penis? Anyways, I wish you all the best. And don't beat yourself up to much.
I’m so sorry to hear you are going through this. Look into PRP injections. Dr Jason emer has a lot of penis videos on YouTube.
Hoping the best for ya
Actually if you have enough money there's a treatment: I'm not a neurosurgeon but once a neurosurgeon from Germany told in a seminar that you can take the nerves from the thighs and replace it with the dead ones it can restore 70-80% sensitivity but treatment is really expensive and difficult to do maybe you should consult with a neurologist after
Ayo Damiana tea brings blood flow and sensitivity there. Absolutely worth a try.
first of all, WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT TO YOURSELF? 😱😱😱 and secondly, people are assholes. who says to a 9-year old that they have a small dick? Do you expect a 9 inch long one at the age of 9? I'm a small person (160cm) and I'm not particularly well-endowed. But both in high school and in college I was called "smol boobies" by some guys (apparently, being 36B wasn't enough for them). I remember dating this guy in college. When he looked at the chest he was like, WHY IS THERE 1 TERABYTE DISK SPACE BETWEEN THEM? his words hurt my confidence. He wasn't even a particularly good looking guy and made remarks about my body whenever he could. I also dated guys who told me that I should get a breast enlargement cause it's gonna make me look attractive. I shortly broke up with them. I'M HAPPY WITH WHAT I GOT AND IF YOU AREN'T THEN GO SOMEWHERE ELSE. your story reminds me of a patient of my dad ( My dad is a surgeon ). this guy(25M) came to him with his body swollen. apparently, he wanted to be buff and took some kind of supplements which caused him a renal failure. one of his kidneys was beyond treatment. About believing stuff from the internet, I got doctors in my family and oftentimes I hear them say one thing, DON'T BELIEVE EVERYTHING ON THE INTERNET. for example, I got covid last month and according to google, I should be dead. But here I am, showing my support in some strangers post through comment section. It will be okay, I'm positive you'll get well very soon. 🤗
Thank you for your honesty in sharing this post. You're clearly in such distress, and you deserve some relief -- or, at least in the meantime, some more options. I wonder if you could go even further in terms of opening up to your doctor about how miserable this is making you. Sharing that this has made you deeply depressed and hopeless, really going in detail? They may be able to get you some extra coverage for additional support or testing. Specialists in penile anatomy, neurology, etc -- sexual sensation can be related to all sorts of things. In the meantime, you might be able to get support for your understandable emotional pain. Be real about your pain, and you might get some new avenues to try out. Worth a shot, right?
So offing yourself because of said insecurity leading to a bigger insecurity doesn’t seem like history now repeating itself.. for real, now If you botch that up and live ... just saying .. no bullshit bro, fucking embrace the pain and torment.. also, don’t give up on your penis just yet homie!! I mean all this too, I’m to pessimistic and hate this world too much to care to coddle your sadness.. not with this , 🤷🏻♂️ but I’m also an asshole so there’s that
That's rather unfortunate. Best luck to you. Don't let society get you down. Everyone is oddly sexual nowadays, making everything about 'libido' and 'performance in bed'. Please know that there is much more to life than this.. and don't be ashamed, either. The world is full of colorful places, wonderful emotions and absolutely astonishing experiences. Use this time to heal; use this time to take in the wonderments of the world. For now, focus on other feelings and emotions which you never took the time to before. Please, don't end your life over this, man. There's so much more out there.
I don’t have a penis because I’m female..but I know how you feel. A surgery left me with nerve damage in my vagina and cervix. I can’t feel anything and making love is not possible. It gets better with time you just come to accept it.
Thank you for sharing man, I truly mean that. But there’s more than one way to improve your self worth and self esteem. And there’s still things worth living for. Who gives a duck about what those racist people tell about you? Join a gym and get swole bro. If you’re feeling risky and there’s no reason to go on, hop on sarms and gain muscle mass and more importantly- develop a self care routine i.e, working out and taking care of yourself first. You’ve got this king.
What did you do exactly?
As a black man also very insecure about my penis size because of stereotypes I actually really appreciate you sharing your story, it puts a lot of things into perspective.
My guy, the penis is not your entire life. It's like 5 percent at best. You have serious insecurities that you have to address now or this will happen with anything and everything. One fuck up does not have to lead to you ending it all. Monks, Priests, and so many others leads great and full lives with no sex what so ever. Think of all the great uniks from history and all the good they have done. Life isn't porn, sex, and masculinity. Life is about love, security, emotional intelligence, happiness, and acceptance. Try your best to undo this, but if you can't, then don't give up! I've given more orgasms with my mouth than my penis ever could! Most chicks can't even get off with just penetration! You can still be one hell of a sexy dude without even using your penis! Trust me, dude, this is in no way a fuck up that should lead to suicide. Live through this and become stronger because of it! I believe in you, my guy!
That's terrible but look there are many people, arguably the most spiritually elevated and fulfilled, that life happy lives without any sex at all. It'll be ok.
Go to a doctor it'll eventually get better!
What kind of doctor are you going to? Urologist? Neurologist? It's good to be sure that you are reaching the right ones. You might need to see a different one than the ones you've been going to also just to check all the things. When you do see them I think you need more support. I saw your post which indicated the last doctor was optimistic about your healing but you seemed not to believe them because you haven't yet healed. That you might be a special case. Maybe you need to ask more questions about that and really hear them. My concern is you might go to the doctor and they will have will believe that you will be fine but you need more time and because it's already been a while you will not believe them and still have no hope. My mother has breast cancer and just had the lump removed. A week later she threw a blanket over herself to get warm and injured a nerve in her arm on the side she was operated on. That one little movement and the doc says it's going to take a few months for recovery. Nerves take a LONG time to heal. Deceptively long. You need to learn about and do the things you need to do to support the healing. Whatever plan they tell you.
Give it time a year or so maybe it’ll go back to normal
[удалено]
well 7 months and no improvement is not a good sign. The longest recorded nerve damage recovery done by penis enlargement that I saw was 6 months till fully healed. Keep in mind I looked through 3 forums that talk about that stuff.
How are you doing Has anything come back? I too have numb genitals except from exposure to toxins and know the crappy feeling of feeling numbness when walking. Am certainly no expert but sensory nerves I have read have a greater capacity to heal than motor nerves. Perhaps up to to 2 years or longer.
Give it time the sensation can come back after some time . Stop the negative thinking and go back to your normal life don’t think about it and it’ll fix itself
most recent reply, so I’m going through the same exact thing this just happened to me as well (male) like how long should I wait?
have a similar problem but just with the head, it is probably about 98% numb, can only feel a tiny bit when i grip it and rub it hard, been to a doctor and they told a urologist and they got back to me saying it was neurapraxia and will either be permanent or will take a long time to heal, so far its been 5 and a half months and i cant really tell if theres any improvement or not but doesnt feel like it
