numbness in penis after hernia op
Posted: 01-24-08 15:06pm

He said the end of his penis is numb, his penis won't get as erect when he has sex and the feelings when he ejaculates is about 25% as good as it was before the op.

He had open surgery and had mesh inserted. He was very black and blue afterwards and ended up having to take 2 types of antibiotics after an awful infection set in.

Can anyone offer advice please?

File a complaint with the FDA it's called an adverse event report.
Find out what type of was mesh was used, you can get this info from the hospital or surgeon.
Many people are suffering from these meshes.

What you are describing is one of many problems I have heard about.
