Random Penile Numbness, Please Read

lately my penis and testicles randomly become numb, especially after and before having a bowel movement my penis is also cold. when I experience numbness my penis and testicles aren’t completely numb, like I still still feel it if I touch but there’s like a tingly sensation of numbness. It usually comes for a few hours and then fades but my penis remains cold. It’s been happening for the past few days. I should note that I have problems with constipation. I don’t know if this is related to that but it seems like it since these symptoms are mainly triggered before and after having a bowel movement. I went see a doctor and he said he didn’t know what was wrong or what could be causing the numbness so he just sent me home. I’m really frustrated right now and want answers so I can start getting better. Does anyone know what this could be or what could be causing this? I’m only 18 and I know this isn’t STD related or anything like that because I’m not sexually active. I’ve been having suicidal thoughts because of this. If anyone could respond I’d really appreciate it.
