24 Year old male Unexplained Genital Numbness
Posted , 1 user is following.
Like my fellow classmates at the age of around 18, I decided to get a gym membership and focus on gaining muscle and bodybuild. Growing up I have always felt normal for my age in terms of development. Above average size penis, normal facial hair growth, chest hair , leg hair , libido etc. However after gaining this muscle at by the age of 19 I felt amazing. I literally felt like superman physically and mentally. This lasted to the age of 21 when I moved back to Canada to work as a construction laborer. It was the summer so I decided to go on a "cut" (caloric deficit) I was seeing great results eating only 1400 calories a day and burning many more at the gym (500-1000) I started intermittent fasting, drinking 3-4 cups of black coffee, delaying hunger with mineral water. Eating mostly vegetables. I went from 173lbs to 139 in about 5 weeks.
Anyways it was now about 2 months into my diet when I started feeling horrible but was soo busy into my first job and my diet I couldn't realize what was going on. I noticed the lowered libido but thought it was because of the diet, and would go away when stopping. Eventually 6 months into the diet , I got really skinny and low body fat. I was cold all the time, I began urinating often, and leaking urine. My genitals became NUMB like rubber. No morning or spontaneous erections for the last 2.5 years. Low semen volume and force, and I have no feeling of arousal or feeling in orgasm either. I have lost body odor, and my armpits and genitals do not sweat anymore either (appocrine glands) I also do not produce pre cum anymore and my penis glans are dry from fluids.
I have been on a mission and the first thing I decided to check with my doctor was my Testosterone levels. They came back at 446 (300-950) Obviously it was low and I blamed this as the issue as I was only 21 at the time. The doctor blew it off and because I mentioned the leaking of urine and everything she ordered a regular blood test. Everything was clear so she sent me to urologist. Anyways after visiting (3 urologists, 3 neurologists, and 4 endocrinologists) I do not have a clear answer /diagnosis for my problems. I have a minor herniation at l1-l2 as well as spina bifida l5-s1. Leg emg shows heavy loss of motor neurons in both left and right feet. My urologist prescribed PROSTAMOL UNO (saw palmetto ) which I did not take because I have heard it is anti-androgenic. Finally the endocrinogist here in europe said my "carries" were low and to come back in a month with new bloods and I will get treatment. When I returned with same bloods he said I should see a sex therapist?
