Loss of testicular sensation

Long story short:

I’m 45 now, in 2018 had the snip, under pressure from my partner.

Hurt like hell during the opp. Female Dr didn’t seem too bothered despite me repeatedly asking for more pain killer. Tried to explain the level of the pain but her not having testicles she didn’t understand.

Recovered ok except that it totally ruined my orgasms, no longer feel like I’m cumming from my balls, lost a LOT of pleasure.

Split up with her. Got a new partner. She’s desperate for kids and decided to get the reversal.

Load more pain in recovery, took 3 hours of complaints to get the female nurses to give me more than paracetamol 🙄

Since then I’ve lost an awful amount of sensitivity in my testicles, a blow that would cripple me previously now only hurts a little - handy if I was an MMA fighter, but I’m not.

Since the opp I’ve also lost labido, very odd for me as I was a walking hardon before.

I’ve spoken to my Dr, who has been less than useful. Managed to get testosterone tests out of him, apparently it’s “normal” but I just don’t feel the same.

Tried various supplements, no change.

Anyone else experienced similar? Found any fixes?

Issues with the nerves in the space can cause deadness in the penis, gonads, and perineum. Various medical problems can influence the nerves and result in deadness. An individual might encounter this deadness in the lower body and crotch region.

Re: Loss of testicular sensation

Your experience with post-vasectomy and reversal complications, including changes in sensation, orgasm quality, and libido, is not uncommon, though it varies between individuals. It's concerning that your pain and symptoms weren't adequately addressed by healthcare professionals.

Second Opinion: Considering your ongoing symptoms and dissatisfaction with your current doctor's response, seeking a second opinion from another urologist or a specialist in male sexual health is advisable. They can provide a more thorough evaluation of your situation.

Hormone Levels: While your testosterone is reported as normal, it might be beneficial to get a more comprehensive hormonal panel, including free testosterone, to rule out any subtle imbalances.

Counseling or Therapy: Psychological factors, including stress from the procedure and changes in your personal life, can impact libido and sexual function. A counselor or therapist, especially one specializing in sexual health, can help.

Lifestyle Factors: Continue to focus on a healthy lifestyle – regular exercise, a balanced diet, and good sleep can positively impact overall health and potentially sexual function.

Alternative Treatments: Some men find improvement with alternative therapies like acupuncture or pelvic floor physical therapy, though more research is needed in these areas.

Remember, each person's response to such surgeries and their aftermath can be quite different, and what works for one might not work for another. It's important to keep communicating with healthcare providers until you find a solution that works for you.

Thanks for sharing your experience – it sounds like you've been through a lot. It's really unfortunate that your symptoms haven't been adequately addressed so far. Seeking a second opinion from a different urologist or a specialist in male sexual health sounds like a solid plan.
