Experiencing Sensation In Penis & Having Urinary Retention After Back Injury
I have a back injury, centrally protruding disc l4-l5and l5-S1. I recieved an injection in the l4-l5 last week and am not getting any better. I have no bulbocavernosu reflex, recent ed with decreased sensation in my penis and last 2 days I feel like I have urinary retneion. What do you think?
Hello Thanks for query . Decreased sensation in penis with Erectile dysfunction and retention of urine strongly suggest pressure over sacral nerve due to Prolapsed Inter vertebral Disc that you have .
I would suggest you to consult qualified Neurosurgeon and to explore need for surgical decompression (Discoidectomy) to release the pressure over Sacral nerve.
This will help to get relief from symptoms . Dr.Patil.
