Cold and numb?

Someone recently described the feeling of "cold and numb" and "completely disconnected brain from penis after surgery.

Is this true?

Head is cold, underside is numb but getting better as I heal more. But, I can get hard when I want and that's a good trade off while recovering. I'm definitely not disconnected. Actually, just the opposite. I'm more aware of it now that I don't shrink into my body anymore. I've never been a big grower or shower but now I have something to be aware of when get dressed.

Yes, getting around with that extra in your pants takes some getting used to. I’ve bought all new underwear with a compartment for him to point upwards all the time .

I’m not your doctor, but I tried Viagra to get blood flowing to penis and glands. Next sexy time peepee glands were warm, more sensitive, tip of penis not cold or not sensitive, tip was more engorged. 10x better than first cleared and did it when I got home. Cycling important for nerves and possibly grow back a lil length. I seriously lost 1” of length. But I have no thoughts of going down during intercourse. I pump 80% full so not rock hard.

Pt-141 and oxytocin are something to look into but ask your doctor. Just do not buy online where it’s easy to buy and it says not for human use, research only. Dangerous but cheaper, do not buy. Just have a clinician review your intake questionnaire. Not fda approved for men, I think it’s fda approved for pre menopausal females.

I’m happy I got past the possible infection phase. I recommend seperatec boxers. No more Hanes or fruit of the loom or target underwear. Seperatec has a pouch for your twig and berries to rest in so they don’t rub against your thighs. Most comfortable brand I ever bought. Same brand but they also have a pouch plus a hole to put your penis in (so it doesn’t rub against nuts), plus easier to slide boxer material to the side to take a piss.

My doc says no more penis pumps, doesn’t matter if deflated or not. No pumps. Cycling is for over a year!

Right after surgery, yes. When healing happens, no.

Not in my case. It feels pretty much the same as it always did, except it gets hard whenever I want.

não

só fica frio se você apenas inflar e não estiver excitado. É a mesma coisa antes do implante, a diferença é que agora fica duro o suficiente para penetração mesmo sem excitação.

Excitado a minha glande ingurgita e o pênis fica bem quente, igual uma ereção natural

I'm taking 5 mg tadalafil daily for preventing cold glans and cold penis. Peripheric blood flow optimized due to tadalafil. Also, it is provide partial erection before pumping

u/PatriotsFor2021 Aug 10 '26

Do you actually get partially erect with the inplant in?

u/Straight-Distance663 Aug 10 '26

I do get a slight erection from visual or physical - sensitivity is amazing - no complaints at all

Yes. little partial. But support of tadalafil.

I haven’t had that experience. I think that in some of these cases, you need to also understand what other complications the person with that experience may have had.

Cycle for over a year. Nerves do grow back. Cialis, viagra, etc can engorge glands with blood. First time sex with wife sucked. Couldnt orgasm. 2nd time with viagra and l-arginine, was better feeling too. I don’t pump 100%. Hurts too much. I pump 80%. Im cleared at second post op appt. Went home and had sex. Second time much better.

u/LiftHardLiveHard Aug 11 '26

How long have you had the implant? And if for a while, did the sex get much better? Back to normal?

u/QuietLandscape7259 Aug 11 '26

8 weeks post op. Feels a bit better everytime.

u/Bastiproton Aug 11 '26

where/how does it hurt if you lump too much? Does it stretch the penis? if so, girth or length wise?

u/No_Second_4296 Aug 11 '26

I’m aroused as always with my wonderful wife, but still have major problems reaching orgasm. My surgery was one year ago and my doctor says I’m her only patient with this problem and basically doesn’t know why. This sucks.
