So the hypothesis is that not testosterone, but dihydrotestosterone like in many other tissues is responsible for the integrity of the neuronal network on the penile and scrotal skin (nervus pudendus, nervus dorsalis penis). The good news is that it’s all recoverable after getting back normal androgen levels and no matter how delayed it is. I can’t tell why we’re talking about persistent side effects then, but atleast it explains why you would get symptoms of pudendal neuropathy while on the drug.
