Unusual symptoms, could it be pudental nerve neuropathy?
Posted: Fri Jun 22, 2012 9:22 am
Hi guys,
I just stumbled upon this disorder today and I am really concerned, that after all my health problems could be related to this! :O
I am a 25 yo Male and for the last 3-4 years I suffer from the following problems:
In the last 2 years symptoms more or less stayed like this:
- chronic muscle tension in the whole abdominal muscle, back muscles, upper legs; actually almost all my muscles feel tense most of the time
- cold, hard flaccid penis most of the time (so even when not errect, the penis tissue is inflexible, cold and retracted MOST of the time), not warm, pliable and "thick".
- penis feels kind of numb, reduced feeling
- skin on the shaft feels weird, paperlike, if I rub it it hurts and gets red very quickly, also the skin on the penishead is very dry, and insensitive
- erections are fairly weak, feel very rubberlike and can subside super quickly
- Premature ejaculation is getting worse and worse, once I even got a ejaculation from my girlfriend massaging my lower back! Even when I masturbate, as soon as I start I get the feeling of ejaculation; feel hypersensitive.
- after being stimulated without ejaculation I get super swollen veins(?) around my testicles, which feel heavy and painful for some while.
- I have urinary frequency and burning
- most of the time loose stool, sometimes constipation
- if I wear tight pants, its very uncomfortable, my legs tingle and feel weird
- I am anxious, slightly paranoid and very much a hypochandric, actually just thinking about having this condition which can only be healed by surgary (which I fear more then almost anything) is crushing me and makes my symptoms worse from being anxious.
-------
So far I was thinking its Chronic Pelvic Pain Syndrom: www.pelvicpainhelp.com/symptoms/male-pelvic-pain/ which could be treated by Triggerpoint therapy, Massage, Physical Therapy in general and relaxation, maybe also psychological therapy. So they say its a circle of anxiety-tension-pain, which lets also to nerve compression and irritation.
What worries me so is the partial numbness of the penis and the weird feeling I get from wearing tight pants, because that both seems to be purely caused by nerve-problems.
ON THE OTHER HAND:
- I fortunately do not suffer from pain
- my symptoms are not aggrivated by sitting
- I didnt have a Injury/operation/accident at the onset of symptoms, that I could think of. They just started to creep in...
----
So I would like to hear your opinions if this sounds like classical pudental nerve neuropathy or not.
Thanks alot,
