Can nerve damage cause erectile dysfunction?

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

Relax and do not worry. If possible, please elaborate more about your symptoms. What do you mean by lack of sensitivity? Do you have a desire to have sex? Do you have an erection in sleep? Is this lack of sensitivity sudden or gradual? Do you have any chronic diseases like diabetes, etc.? Do you smoke or consume alcohol? So lack of sensitivity could be because of chronic diseases like diabetes or any trauma or surgery on the penis.

If you are a smoker or alcoholic, then there might be less blood supply in the penis which can cause a lack of sensitivity. If possible, I want you to have a color doppler of the penis test and also basic blood reports, including diabetes reports. Generally, prognosis is good if the causing factor is identified and treated accordingly. Meanwhile, I suggest you take a tablet Tadalafil 10 mg before sexual intercourse. It will cause improvement. If you have had any other tests done, please send them to me.

I hope this helps.

Please revert in case of further queries.

Thank you.

Hi,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

I have seen the reports you sent (attachments were removed to protect the patient's identity). Both the reports are fine, and you do not have any nerve damage at all. Although you had trauma, there is no nerve damage. Your loss of sensitivity is purely functional, and there is no physical damage to the penis or nerves. You have to give time and do not overthink it. No medicine is required as there is no cause or damage.

I hope this helps.
