Tingling at top of penis after prostate surgery

by RichyRich1708, May 30, 2008 09:52AM
Why do I have tingling at the top of the penis after prostate surgery two weeks ago?  Asked my urology surgeon and he said he never heard of it.


This discussion is related to penis sensitivity.

Hi,

During prostate surgery, some nerves that provide nerve supply to the perineal region may be stretched or affected.

Since it has just been 2 weeks since your surgery, it is too early to assess nerve function.

What was the reason for prostate surgery?

Was it an enlarged prostate?

A tingling within the penis and pain during or after passing urine would indicate an infection and would need further attention.

The best approach at this time would be to focus on healing and dealing with the sequelae of symptoms following prostate surgery.

Do discuss this further with your urologist if the tingling persists at levels that cause discomfort.

Do keep us posted on your doubts and progress
regards
