Numb penis - help

Sildenafil and Tadalafil.

I did do a run of blood tests privately last year, diabetes was covered and came back fine.

are you older ? you shouldnt need to take those pills if your not old it can cause you to need them to have sex if you use them enough or after a high enough dose it can permanently alter your penis to where you need it . i also took those before to try it out i noticed my penis felt numb instead of a natural erection

I had the loss of feeling and erectile issues before taking the medication, been a problem since early 2020. I am in my late 30s.

Medication has helped restore function and given me some confidence, don't feel quite so s****y. but still struggling to feel anything.

Suspected nerve issues related to 2019 shingles back rash.

do you sit alot ? sit on your butt or having a job requires alot of sitting ? if so i believe i know what the issue is then

I do sit a lot but I don't think it's that, most people spend more time sat down than stood up. I would agree with you but as I've had shingles, as mentioned, this could be a factor.

On Tadalaifl I have noticed some minor feeling is back and this has also improved urine flow and fully, emptying bladder - this has helped me to sleep much better.

I'm currently taking Tadalafil 10mg every 2 days, this feels like a positive step. I was reading you can take upto 20mg, I was thinking of trying this to see if that might further improve loss of feeling.

Erection isn't as firm as when taking Sidenafil - this is also why I am curious to try Tad at 20mg. The Sidenafil benefits were short-lived and didn't make any difference to feeling or urine flow, but it was firmer.

I think I may need to try and ask if my GP can refer me back to Urology to investigate loss of feeling. I also read up a little on neurology too, I'm not too sure if seeing a Neurologist may be the better path to take.

I'm so confused with it all, but just happy for now that I seem to have found some

semblance of normality with Tadalafil tablets.

yeah i think me and you and many of us are having a issue like this tell me this is the tip of your penis changed ? like if you take a hott bath does it appear a yellowish redish color ?

Not sure I noticed a difference in the shower, mainly just the loss of feeling when washing. I can't feel the shower water hit my glans, there's only water sensation hitting shaft and foreskin.

I can't feel anything if I tap my finger on my glans either. GP examined me for this too and asked if I could feel anything. Based on my 2019 shingles photos we seem to think this is nerve related.

Since taking Tadalafil, I do now get some glans sensation if I place my finger on glans and slide finger across. I feel sensation a little more doing this when I have an erection. I wouldn't describe the feeing as normal or pleasurable, but I at least feel 'something' now.

The glans itself I think has become paler over the last few years too, it used to look like a healthy purple/red colour.

I've been worried about cancer for a while but GP has tried to reassure me it is not this. I am just freaked out that things don't feel normal, like they used to.

i feel im having this exact issue do u see any changes in the color of the glans ? showers wont do anything take a hott bath for a while and look at the glans while your in the hott bath seems like it dries up and the glans just dont look like they used to?

I just know something is not right. You seem to think you have a similar issue...

Do you have feeling when you urinate or ejaculate? You can feel that fluid exit your urethra/meatus and have relief feeling from that? Or do you feel nothing?

Do you also have issues with erections?

when i have erection its same as you i can feel and it seems ok then but when its soft sometimes i cant feel anything sometimes i do but it does seem less then before, can you take a hott bath and see if ur glans seem not normal do you ever pee and look at your glans and it dosent seem normal ?

I only have minimal feeling with erection while taking Tadalafil, this has brought back morning and random erections too which is a relief. Without medication I would still feel in the mood but it wouldn't stand up, which really had my mood low.

However, feeling on glans is still very minimal. I also can't feel sensation or pleasure of urine or semen exit which I find difficult to cope with. No feeling at all when any fluid exits.

The tablets have restored function and some confidence, which my GP prescribed. But it still really sucks that I can barely feel anything.

Apparently shingles can have this effect according to GP. I just hope thing will return to normal in time...
