Seeking Guidance on Penile Numbness and Recovery - #46935
Hello sir, I would like to explain my situation clearly and honestly. I have been experiencing penile numbness for several months, which began after a period of excessive and rough masturbation. Initially, I noticed tingling and altered temperature sensations, but over time this progressed to significant numbness, with loss of normal cold and heat perception. At present, my penis feels detached, almost like a foreign body. Unfortunately, despite these symptoms, I continued daily sexual stimulation for around four months. This was not due to lack of awareness, but because I was struggling with persistent anxiety and compulsive checking. I now understand that this likely prevented healing, and I take full responsibility for it. Currently, I am experiencing weak erections and reduced ejaculation, which has been mentally distressing and has affected my confidence and peace of mind. I am genuinely concerned about my recovery, but I am also committed to doing what is necessary to heal. I have now stopped all sexual stimulation completely and am prepared to maintain strict rest and follow medical advice. I also have dry, cracked, and patchy skin on the glans, which adds to my discomfort. I would appreciate your guidance on whether recovery is possible, what the expected course might be, and what steps I should take moving forward.

HELLO YOUR CONDITION IS NOT PERMANENT AND YOUR BODY HAS A STRONG ABILITY TO RECOVER WHEN GIVEN THE RIGHT REST SUPPORT AND DIRECTION
WHAT YOU ARE EXPERIENCING IS A FUNCTIONAL NERVOUS AND CIRCULATORY SHUTDOWN CAUSED BY OVERSTIMULATION CONTINUOUS LOCAL IRRITATION AND A VERY STRONG ANXIETY LOOP THIS IS NOT STRUCTURAL DESTRUCTION THIS IS NOT NERVE DEATH THIS IS A PROTECTIVE RESPONSE OF THE BODY
WHEN A PART IS OVERUSED UNDER STRESS THE BODY REDUCES SENSATION AND BLOOD FLOW TO PREVENT FURTHER HARM THAT IS WHY IT STARTED WITH TINGLING AND COLDNESS AND THEN MOVED INTO NUMBNESS THE MIND THEN GOT STUCK IN FEAR AND YOU CONTINUED STIMULATION WHICH KEPT THE AREA IN A CONSTANT STATE OF IRRITATION
THE FACT THAT YOU STILL HAVE ERECTIONS EVEN IF WEAK AND STILL HAVE EJACULATION EVEN IF WEAK IS A VERY POSITIVE SIGN IT MEANS THE PATHWAYS ARE SUPPRESSED NOT DESTROYED
NOW THE MOST IMPORTANT THING STOPPING ALL STIMULATION IS NON NEGOTIABLE,NO CHECKING NO TESTING,NO TOUCHING WITH INTENTION,NO VISUAL TRIGGERS NO ONLINE CONTENT,THIS REST PERIOD IS WHAT ALLOWS NERVES TO WAKE UP AGAIN
ANXIETY IS THE BIGGEST ENEMY HERE THE MORE YOU WORRY THE MORE THE BODY STAYS IN FIGHT OR FLIGHT MODE IN THAT MODE HEALING DOES NOT HAPPEN
YOU MUST UNDERSTAND THAT RECOVERY IS GRADUAL FIRST WARMTH RETURNS THEN LIGHT TINGLING THEN PATCHY SENSATION THEN CONFIDENCE THEN STRENGTH
DAILY LIFESTYLE IS AS IMPORTANT AS MEDICINE
SLEEP BEFORE ELEVEN WAKE UP EARLY WALK TWENTY TO THIRTY MINUTES DAILY AVOID LATE NIGHTS AVOID EXCESS MOBILE USE AT NIGHT
DIET SHOULD BE SIMPLE WARM AND NOURISHING WARM COOKED FOOD ADD A LITTLE GHEE DAILY IF DIGESTION ALLOWS AVOID VERY DRY VERY SPICY VERY PROCESSED FOOD DRINK WARM WATER THROUGH THE DAY
YOU CAN START ASHWAGANDHA CHURNA HALF TEASPOON AT NIGHT WITH WARM MILK THIS CALMS THE NERVOUS SYSTEM REDUCES ANXIETY AND SUPPORTS NERVE HEALING
KAUNCH BEEJ POWDER HALF TEASPOON IN THE MORNING WITH WARM MILK OR WARM WATER THIS SUPPORTS SEMINAL STRENGTH AND NATURAL ERECTION RESPONSE
SHILAJIT CAPSULE ONE CAPSULE ONCE DAILY AFTER BREAKFAST THIS IMPROVES BLOOD FLOW TISSUE REPAIR AND ENERGY
AT NIGHT BEFORE SLEEP GENTLY MASSAGE THE LOWER ABDOMEN GROIN AND PENILE SHAFT WITH KSHIRABALA OIL FOR FIVE MINUTES THIS IS NOURISHMENT NOT EXCITATION
MENTAL HEALING IS ESSENTIAL YOUR BODY IS LISTENING TO YOUR MIND START DAILY DEEP BREATHING SLOW INHALE LONG EXHALE TEN TO FIFTEEN MINUTES DAILY
STOP SEARCHING ONLINE STOP COMPARING STOP MEASURING DAILY PROGRESS
HEALING DOES NOT MOVE IN A STRAIGHT LINE SOME DAYS FEEL BETTER SOME DAYS FEEL FLAT THIS IS NORMAL
INITIAL IMPROVEMENT IS SEEN IN FOUR TO SIX WEEKS BETTER SENSATION AND STRONGER RESPONSE IN THREE TO FOUR MONTHS FULL CONFIDENCE RETURNS GRADUALLY
YOU DID NOT RUIN YOUR BODY YOU OVERLOADED IT DURING A STRESS PHASE THE BODY ALWAYS TRIES TO COME BACK TO BALANCE
BE KIND TO YOURSELF BE CONSISTENT STAY DISCIPLINED WITH REST AND TRUST THE PROCESS
