circumcised penis - #17560

Anonymously

I was circumcised as a baby, so I never really thought about it much until recently. But over the last few years, I’ve started noticing that my circumcised penis feels way more sensitive than it should at times, and then other times, it's like there's less sensation than I expect. It’s weird, like a mix of both extremes. Sometimes, after sex or even just from friction against clothes, the skin feels kinda raw, almost like it’s irritated. Other times, it just feels numb, like I can’t feel as much as I think I should. I read that having a circumcised penis can lead to changes in sensitivity because the foreskin isn’t there to protect the glans, and over time, the skin gets desensitized. But some people say this can also be because of poor blood circulation or dryness. I don’t know if it's normal or if I should be doing something about it. I also feel like my skin gets drier in that area sometimes, especially in colder months. I started looking into Ayurveda to see if there are natural ways to improve sensitivity and overall health of a circumcised penis. Some articles mentioned using herbal oils to improve circulation and protect the skin, but I don’t know which ones actually work. Also, are there foods or lifestyle changes in Ayurveda that can help with nerve sensitivity? I don’t want to use artificial creams or medications unless absolutely necessary. Does Ayurveda have any specific recommendations for taking care of a circumcised penis, especially in terms of sensitivity and maintaining natural moisture? Are there herbs or oils that help with this? Also, is there a way to prevent further loss of sensation over time? Any advice would be really helpful.

Ayurveda recommends nourishing herbal oils like Mahanarayan oil, Kumkumadi tailam, and Ashwagandha Bala oil to improve circulation, sensitivity, and moisture in circumcised skin, reducing dryness and irritation. Herbs like Ashwagandha, Shatavari, Gokshura, Brahmi, and Gotu Kola support nerve health and blood flow, preventing further desensitization. A diet rich in hydrating foods (coconut water, almonds, sesame seeds) and healthy fats (ghee, walnuts, avocado) helps maintain skin elasticity. Avoiding excessive caffeine, alcohol, and processed foods prevents dehydration and nerve dullness. Gentle oil massage, wearing soft cotton underwear, and reducing friction further protect sensitivity and promote long-term penile health.

In Ayurveda, maintaining sensitivity and skin health for a circumcised penis involves balancing Vata and Pitta doshas, which influence nerve function, circulation, and moisture retention. Here are some natural ways to improve sensation and prevent dryness: Ayurvedic Oils & Herbal Remedies Ashwagandha Oil or Mahanarayan Oil – Helps improve blood circulation and nerve sensitivity. Shatavari & Bala Oil – Nourish and protect delicate skin, reducing irritation. Coconut or Sesame Oil – Acts as a natural moisturizer, preventing dryness and friction-related irritation. Diet & Lifestyle for Nerve Health Increase warm, nutrient-dense foods like ghee, nuts, seeds, and turmeric to support nerve function. Avoid excessive caffeine, alcohol, and processed foods, which can aggravate Vata and lead to dryness. Hydration & Massage – Drinking warm water and performing regular Abhyanga (self-massage) with herbal oils can help maintain circulation. Gentle yoga & stretching (especially hip-opening poses) can improve pelvic circulation. Stress management through meditation and breathwork (Pranayama) may support overall nerve sensitivity.
