numbness/lack of feeling in penis

by tk1943, Jun 08, 2008 01:20AM
I am a 15 yr prostate cancer survivor, with nerve sparing surgery. Sex life was fine until  about 2 years ago I was diagonosed with leser trelat which has since turned into seborrehic keratosis.  I went thru all of the testing for any internal malignancies which all were benign  My major concern in the lesions on my penis and lack of feeling . The lesions come and go, but I have a continuous itching on my scrotum. I have seen docs for this but none seem to understand and relate it to the prostate surgery.  Prior to this I was able to have orgasms and had total feeling in my penis.  I am 64 years old and would like to continue to have an active sex life with my wife, with satisfaction for both of us.
Thank you for any help you may provide

Hi,

You should maintain clean personal hygiene. It would help to wash all your clothes in an antiseptic solution like savlon or dettol (chlorhexidine).

If there is any itching , you could take oral antihistamine medications for it.

You should talk to your doctor about your diagnosis and also if you need to do another course of antibiotic treatment.

Try wearing lose clothes and apply calamine lotion at the site and see if it helps with your symptoms.

Let us know if you have any doubts and post us about how you are doing.

Regards.
