Occasional numbness of testicles. Please help!!!!

by spaceblank12, Oct 25, 2009 02:02AM
Hi, I'm 18 and for about  3 or 4 years I have been experiencing numbness in most often my right testicle.
The numbness usually reaches all the way down to my leg.

At first I ignored it off but now its becoming quite frequent..

I'm really worried as of couple months ago I have been having alot of trouble maintaining erections.
(sometimes waking up without morning wood, loosing erection with girlfriend)

Is this a sign of some really bad damage to the testicles? a symptom of erectile dysfunction?

Please help as I'm terrified for life.

Hello,
It looks like you are having some spinal cord or disc problem because numbness often results from nerve compression or injury. The erectile dysfunction may be related to this. Other causes which need to be ruled out are medical conditions like diabetes, high blood pressure, heart or thyroid conditions, poor circulation, low testosterone, spinal cord injury, nerve damage, or neurologic disorders (such as multiple sclerosis or Parkinson's disease). My sincere advice would be to consult a urologist/ neurologist.
I sincerely hope that helps. Take care.
