Genital numbness is a terrible thing. The worst it is the more I am depressed. I think many would agree here. You feel less than a man.
It is not clear what causes it, but the consensus is that, like most our problems, it is hormonal. Clearly, it correlated with low libido, and other symptoms so it must be.
However, since I have tension in my pelvis muscles (pre-fin, curious how several of us had that too?) I try to massage the pelvic area. You can read about all the massages you can do to the area both external and internal, some of them have saved my life because CPPS is a nightmare.
Long story short, massaging muscles in and around the pelvic area, mostly in the glutes, upper legs, and mostly internally, causes immediate changes to my numbness (worse usually but sometimes better). Can someone explain why? If this is supposed to be only hormonal, there should be no change. I read about a PT curing a guy from genital numbness through rigorous glutes massage. I can find the link but I am sure I saw such things.
I am convinced our problem is hormonal but I find this curious, as well as the fact that numbness changes with walking (made better but sometimes also worse, depends).
Can someone please try and report back? We might be up to something here. I wonder whether our prostate shrank following Fin which can potentially have a mechanical effect on numbness i wonder.
Please try, it is harmless, just get a roller, go to PT, or massage with your hands. If someone else experience changes we might be up to something.
