no senation

hi, im 18 years old, and lately i have been having problems with my penis, i tried to have sex with a girl but i couldnt get an erection, so i went to the doctor, and they said it was stress, so we tried it again, and it i got it up but it wouldnt stay, so i had this dumb idea that i got from the web that stated, if i put icyhot on my penis i will get my erections back, so i tried it and it burned like crazy,lol. but after that 4 the next 3 days , i got a bunch of erections that one day i noticed that my penis and parts of my inner thighs became numb and im afraid i lost sensation in my penis, is it the icyhot or what? i also masterbate by humping on balled up shirts (wierd i know) and i think this could be the problem, could it be nerve damage, is this normal, and can it be cured, if so how, please help, im only 18!!!  and i went to the doctor, but he was no help, he said the numbness would go away, but that was 3 days ago!!!

Hello,
Common causes causing erection problem are stress and anxiety,poor communication with your partner, unrealistic sexual expectations, which make sex a task rather than a pleasure,negative feelings about non performance,smoking, alcohol and sometimes illicit drugs and medical conditions like diabetes, high blood pressure, heart or thyroid conditions, poor circulation, low testosterone, depression, spinal cord injury, nerve damage (for example, from prostate surgery), or neurologic disorders (such as multiple sclerosis or Parkinson's disease but difficult in your case due to age).

For the numbness,it could be because of some nerve irritation or compression, inflammation of the urethral glands,obstruction of the bladder neck or vit B 12 deficiency.Take some multivitamins for some days and if the symptoms persist then pls get yourself examined for these possibilities from a urologist.

I hope it helps.Take care and regards.

Hey, I am having a similar problem doc,

I get numbness that has been progressively more apparent over time. I do agree with that sex is a task thing, for me in the past. Am still a little anxious, but i seek help. My numbness I believe comes from an inflammation in the penis. Could there somehow be an infection, of a parasite that I contracted and now is attacking that general area? Ihave noticed blood coming out of small dark bumps in the skin if i press on them. Have general penile discomfort, looser skin. DIfficult with erections.

Thanks
