The biggest fear of men researching nerve surgeries as a permanent solution to premature ejaculation is experiencing complete loss of sensation in the penis and consequently not enjoying sexual intercourse: "Does complete loss of sensation occur after dorsal neurectomy surgery?". The source of this concern and how the modern selective modulation technique solves this problem can be explained in the light of clinical data.
Difference Between Traditional Neurectomy and Modern Modulation
In classic dorsal neurectomy surgeries performed in the past, most of the sensory nerves in the penis were cut in thick bundles. This could lead to permanent numbness in the penis and the inability to achieve orgasm in some patients. However, today, this risk is eliminated thanks to the Selective Dorsal Nerve Modulation (SDN) technique. In this method:
- Sensation is Not Completely Lost: Only the hypersensitive, millimeter-sized side branches of the nerves are modulated. The main trunk nerve that carries the primary sensation of the penis is preserved.
- The Goal is to Reduce Hypersensitivity: The aim is not to numb the penis, but to lower the hyper-arousal threshold that causes premature ejaculation to the level of a normal, healthy man.
- It Does Not Harm Erectile Function: The nerves that provide penile sensation and those that enable erection travel along completely different pathways. Since the deep nerves that enable erection are not touched during this surgery, erectile dysfunction does not occur.
Conclusion: Safe and Controlled Sensation
According to the feedback of patients under clinical follow-up, the pleasure and quality of sensation obtained from sexual intercourse are preserved after the surgery, whereas control over ejaculation time increases dramatically. This supports the patient's sexual self-confidence and partner satisfaction.
