New York, NY March 25, 2011 - Men often write into health forums to ask about the loss of penis feeling and to find out why this occurs. The answer, of course, varies from case to case and often depends on how the man cares for his penis, the daily activities he carries out, and his overall health.
The good news is that in most cases the loss of feeling in the penis is only temporary and over time the feeling will gradually return. However, sometimes the loss of penis feeling is attributed to more severe medical conditions. This is why it is important to find out what is causing the loss of feeling.
What Causes Feeling Loss in the Penis?
Loss of feeling in the penis is a common condition, especially in men who have frequent sexual intercourse or masturbate regularly and in men who are aging. Two of the most frequent causes are as follows:
1. Pudendal Nerve and Dorsal Nerve Damage
The pudendal nerve is located in the pelvis and it is a main nerve for the male and female genitalia. This nerve is connected to the bladder and rectum, and in men it is also connected to the main nerve of the penis. This nerve is called the dorsal nerve. If the pudendal nerve is compressed or stretched a loss of sensation in the penis can occur, as well as a reduction in sexual function. The ability to gain or maintain an erection can also be affected.
The main causes of nerve damage to the penis is being seated for long lengths of time on hard chairs, horse riding, riding a bicycle, chronic constipation, pelvic fractures, or direct hits to the region.
Symptoms
The phenomenon is known as Pudendal Canal Syndrome, Pudendal Nerve Entrapment (PNE), or Alcock Canal Syndrome. The symptoms that the sufferer will feel include pelvic pain, and a pricking, stabbing, numb, or burning sensation in their penis. This may cause the sufferer to experience pain, sexual dysfunction, impotency, and incontinence of the bowel and/or bladder.
Treatment
Sufferers should avoid activities that aggravate the condition such as cycling and horseback riding. Make sure that any hard seating is cushioned so that direct pressure on the nerve is avoided. If the condition does not improve, a doctor may recommend pain relief medication, injections, physiotherapy or surgery to rectify the problem.
2. Penis Capillary and Skin Damage
The penis is a sensitive organ because it has extensive nerve endings in the skin. It also has a network of small capillaries that feed the penis with oxygenated blood. These features enable the penis to be stimulated and gain and sustain an erection. Nevertheless, it is often during these bouts of sexual excitement that the penis is at its most vulnerable. Sexual intercourse and masturbation stretch and tear at capillaries and penis skin so that it becomes damaged and the blood flow to the penis is restricted.
In addition, rough, aggressive, or too frequent sex (intercourse or masturbation) may cause the skin of the penis to become hardened and less receptive to touch. This, in turn, reduces sensation and reduces sexual function.
Symptoms
The penis will not respond to stimulation as well as it once did and may even feel numb when touched. The skin of the penis may feel rough, be cracked, or look dry.
Treatment
Abstain from strenuous sexual activity of any kind for a couple of weeks. Then make a change to regular bedroom habits. Use foreplay more and actual activity less. Buy a feather or another aid that is softto awaken penis sensitivity. Coax and coerce it into an erection slowly. In addition, eat a balanced diet and drink plenty of fluids. Wear loose fitting clothing and cotton underwear that is supportive, but not restrictive. Use a mild or sensitive cleanser when bathing and use a penis specific creme (health professionals often recommend Man1 Man Oil) daily, so that penis skin sensitivity is increased and the capillaries are given time to heal and repair.
