Loss of punishment sensitivity

I had a prostatectomy 3 years ago and then had a simple sling surgery to deal with incontinence...after sling surgery my penis has lost sensitivity to the point where it's difficult to have an orgasm.
Anyone else experienced this?
What can I do now?

  1. Friggin spellchecker changes penis to punishment🤣

    1. Based on your description ...Perhaps some nerve damage may have taken place during sling surgery. Have you discussed the issue with your urologist?. Some hospitals have one or more MD's who specialize in after surgery erection issues. Dennis(ProstateCancer.net TEAM)

      1. Kjones74, I’m considering a sling for incontinence, so your advice would really help. Is it possible that the insensitivity was the result of the operation three years ago and not the sling operation, or have you been able to rule out that possibility? Thanks for your post!!

        1. there was starting to besome difficulty reaching organizations before the sling surgery...but I definitely noticed a significant difference afterwards...and I still have a small amount of bladder leakage as well
