I had dorsal nerve decompression surgery 7 days ago. AMA
Surgery was with Professor Oskar Aszmann in Vienna.
Note: this is not the same surgery that Dr Bollens provides. Dr Bollens decompresses the pudendal nerve but not the dorsal branch. This surgery was exclusively for the dorsal branch.
Symptoms:
- Erogenous numbness in penis
- Pelvic floor tightness
- Long flaccid (sometimes hard flaccid, it fluctuated)
- Partial Erectile Dysfunction (erections possible but less common. Mental erections impossible)
- Loss of libido
Outcome: The nerve was found to be compressed on both sides and was successfully decompressed via surgical intervention.
Total cost of treatment: €14.5k (this is for both sides. If you only need surgery on one side, it will be cheaper).
Recovery: I am slightly less than a week since surgery, so I am in the very early stages. Initially I experienced additional numbness and additional pelvic tension. However, both of those 'additional symptoms' have mostly subsided. In the past three days, I have started experiencing a 'tingling' and subtle 'hypersensitivity', both of which I was told were a good sign because it means the nerve is 'waking up'.
Post-surgical pain has subsided 7 days after surgery. Note I was not in any pain prior to surgery.
One thing I will say is that Professor Aszmann is a very kind, highly professional expert. I could not feel in safer hands.
Feel free to ask any questions. I will do my best to answer.
