In January 2023, I had two procedures (1) circumcision (2) check the blockage unable to ejaculate. The reason I had both procedures, was frightened by the Urologist that I might develop a cancer with tight foreskin. I never had any such pain, never complained to my Doctor. Both procedures were botched up, leaving me in traumatised state, unable to touch my penis, no energy left for any erections and painful. After some 14 months have continued to suffer from hypersensitivity, complete & loss of erections. Nothing helps, tried all known gadgets, such as vacuum pump, caverjet injections, Viagra etc. almost everything. My local GPs are completely lost. I am perfectly healthy, no underlying medical conditions.
Can anyone please throw any light to resolve unthinkable and unimaginable state I have been left?
All the Lab results after both procedures were carried out were negative. I only take Nilemdo 180mg Bempedoic Acid 1 tablet a day, was on Indapamide 1.5mg, taken off, my BP is all normal. I was even informed that one of side effects for Indapamide creates and increases ED.

Wish it was possible, when 4 different GPs + 2 different Urologists unable to pinpoint to find the exact cause, but all of them are lost. Finally was referred to the Neurologist, also failed to find the cause just in case the nerve damaged. During my extensive search online found the following: This happens because the damages nerve endings no longer send signals, essentially causing atrophy. The nerves in the foreskin apparently provide an impulse to aid erection.
I am really sorry to hear this. Do you think it was the circumcision that caused the problems with having an errection or was it the procedure to do with the blockage? If you can pin point what may have caused you to have a complete loss of errections/ hypersensitivity may be a start to try identify. I had my circumcision done around 3 months ago due to phimosis and still have sensitive glans which I thought would have improved by now. I also get some nerve pain after I pee.
Hi Manlove2 Thank you for your kind message. I was some 75% active before both procedures were carried out, now 100% inactive, completely and totally grounded, there is absolutely no activity in my penis, no flow of blood to maintain the erections, dead as stone. Though, I was unable to ejaculate, but still able to have erections most of the time. To be honest with you, I do not know if it is circumcision or the blockage, but I personally think it is the circumcision, no erections for the past 14 months . Unfortunately Doctors cannot even pinpoint or identify the cause of loss complete and total erections. I had never ever complained to my GP any pain with tight foreskin, but was frightened will develop cancer, hence ended up with this procedures, lab results all negative.
Thats unfortunate doctors are not able to pin point the cause of loss of erections. I also only decided to get circumcision done as GP suggested it was the only way I would be able to resolve my foreskin issue even though l had no real problems. I do think there can be complications with circumcision as alot of nerve endings are cut from our foreskin. I hope activity returns to your penis. Maybe there could be some physio or exercise you could try?
Are you able to go back to the same urologist who recommended the circumcision and complain? Surely they should have made you aware of the risks I.e. being totally grounded loss of errections, as if you had known you would never have gone through the procedure. It may stop them giving wrong advice to people in the future that have tight foreskin. Has your sensitivity improved over the past year
Hi Unfortunately, the answer is no, as cannot discuss much, as it is following its path. It is not only being grounded totally and completely, but when I touch my penis, no feelings left, as if it does not exist, also very dry skin, never had this kind of issue before the procedure. At no time was I explained that there are some serious risks, will be grounded. Frankly, I regret it very much, 14 months is a long time for any recovery.
