What Causes Numbness In Penis With Erectile Dysfunction?
Hello, I have a problem with my penis ans was wondering if you could help. About 10 years ago I had a very bad infection in 2 teeth that wasn't readily found, in fact it took 8 years to find out what wrong. During this time I aquired parasites that I took herbs such as, blackwalnut and wormwood to rid myself of them.
After that, and ever since then (6 years ago), I have a numb penis and I cannot get erections, granted I can feel a little more than I used to be able to but not enough to provide gratification. I'm not sure if it was the infection or the parasites but I still cannot feel my penis very much, even though it has been years since I have gotten rid of both the parasites and infection. Do you have any answers for what I can do to regain feeling as well as reclaim my sex life?
Thank you,
-Don

Hello,
You need to understand that weather you are having a problem achieving erection or maintaining an erection. You should also get a blood workup done to check for free testosterone, serum prolactin and CRP. also check if you are having a good "morning wood", if yes then your physiology is mostly fine and you are having sex related performance anxiety, which can be cured with mild anxiolytics.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
