I had my implant (LGX) on 7 Nov and have been cleared by my uro for sex, however, my cock (shaft, glans and somewhat the frenulum) are numb, inhibiting orgasm. Other than that, it's wonderful. Has anyone else experienced numbness and how long did it take the get feeling back. My uro said if it doesn't return in a couple months, he'll prescribe a med for nerve regeneration, whiich may or may not work.

Numbness after Implant
Numbness after Implant
Age 63 married 41 years...2 kids and 2 grandkids. Had robotic RP in Apr 2008. Negative PSA since then. Suffered ED initially from Type II diabetes and then the RP. Had AMS700 LGX implant on 7 Nov 11.
Re: Numbness after Implant
I have the same problem, and a lot of others have mentioned it also. I hope it will just go away over time, but I really don't know.....................
Re: Numbness after Implant
I went back and read all of the paperwork after my surgery and saw that it mentioned the possibility of "loss of sensitivity." Wish I had known about that earlier.........................

I'd be interested in finding out what drug would be prescribed for nerve regeneration.

Re: Numbness after Implant
Some men use viagra or other pills to increase their sensation with an implant. I have never tried it but have always wanted to since getting my implant. I too have a loss of sensitivity. Specifically to heat/warmth.
Diagnosed with ED at age of 19, Implanted with Coloplast Titan at age 20. Now 34 (2023)
Titan failed 09/2020, replaced on 10/2/2020 by Kolher @ Mayo Clinic in Minnesota

Re: Numbness after Implant
I too had the numbness for months after, it gradually went away. I would expect that will be the way yours will go. All this takes time, I am 11 months out from lgx implantion and thing are still changing to the good side. Just give it 6 months or so.
age 74 married, Robotic RP Dec.2009. Implanted Jan 2011 with AMS 700LGX and AMS 800 AUS. (AMS 1500). IPP failed March 2018 , leak. Planning an AUS revision (total replacement) in 2018, now I need the IPP too.
Re: Numbness after Implant
I don't have as much sensitivity, so the sensation I do get inhibits an climax. I haven't had complete numbness. Thanks for the tip; I'll ask my doctor re: nerve regeneration meds.
