In the article, we will consider reviews after denervation of the head.
The increased sensitivity of the glans penis is a serious problem for males. Such a violation can have a significant impact on the quality of sexual life, so fast ejaculation does not allow to satisfy a woman. Hypersensitivity treatment is carried out medically, however, in some cases, surgical intervention or denervation of the head may be required. We will review the reviews of this operation at the end of the article.
Description
Denervation involves a radical method of treating the increased sensitivity of nerve endings located on the head of the penis in a man. After the operation, there is a cessation of uncontrolled and premature ejaculation, which causes a man to have a state of depression and a sense of inferiority, prevents him from experiencing an orgasm and leads to dysfunction of the sexual aspect of life, that is, impotence.
The denervation of the head can be carried out in several ways, however, the most invasive methods are most often used, when individual nerve fibers are subject to suppression. As a result, the sensitivity of the organ is completely lost and restored during the rehabilitation period to normal.
The rehabilitation period can be quite long and reach six months or more. Surgery does not affect potency, since the nerve endings responsible for erection are not affected during the operation.
Reviews of denervation of the head confirm this.
Indications
The main indication for surgical intervention is increased sensitivity of the glans penis in men. Such a violation is accompanied by uncontrolled and premature ejaculation. The diagnosis is confirmed on the basis of the clinical picture and is characterized as a violation of ejaculation, which is regular in nature.
To establish a violation, the patient is tested for a reaction to lidocaine, which consists in the following:
- 30 minutes before sexual intercourse, a man lubricates the penis with lidocaine ointment or solution.
- 10 minutes after application, the product is washed off.
- During intercourse, barrier contraceptives are used to prevent lidocaine from entering the woman's vagina.
If the duration of sexual intercourse increases several times under the influence of lidocaine, while the test is positive for three attempts, the patient is prescribed surgery. If sexual intercourse is not prolonged even when using an anesthetic, the test is considered negative and the search for the cause of the violation continues. In the latter case, according to patients, denervation of the head will not give a result.
Contraindications
A number of other conditions are also highlighted when the operation is not performed:
- Diseases of an infectious nature, proceeding in an acute form, accompanied by an increase in body temperature.
- Exacerbation of diseases of the internal organs in a chronic form.
- Pathologies of the kidneys, heart and lungs in severe form.
- The recovery period after a heart attack or stroke.
- Blood diseases.
- An allergic reaction to drugs administered during anesthesia.
Methods of denervation
Surgery to reduce the sensitivity of nerve endings in the glans penis can be carried out in various ways. The choice of method depends on the number of nerve fibers that need to be nipped, as well as the type of surgical approach. The following methods of surgical intervention are distinguished:
- Incomplete or selective, when a specialist dissects more than half of the existing nerve endings.
- Full or non-selective, when all large trunks that are located in close proximity to the head of the penis are dissected.
In addition, the operation can be conducted open and closed. With an open operation, a specialist cuts the skin of the penis, finds the trunks of nerves and nip them. The closed operation is performed through the skin by electrical action on the nerve endings.
An advantage of the closed method is that it is performed under local anesthesia. According to reviews, the closed method of denervation of the glans penis is why it is popular. However, the main disadvantage is the greater likelihood of a relapse of the disease.
Increasingly, specialists give preference to microsurgical surgery in an open way, when damaged tissue is stitched with material that resolves itself after a while. This method of intervention has almost one hundred percent effectiveness. The rehabilitation period is only two weeks, in addition, cosmetic defects are completely absent.
Reviews of microsurgical denervation of the head of the penis are mostly positive.
Training
Preliminary preparations for the operation include diagnosis of the male urogenital system. The examination is carried out by donating blood for a general analysis, ECG, blood type and Rh factor. In addition, a consultation is conducted with an anesthetist who interviews the patient for contraindications for anesthesia.
A week before the operation, taking medications that can thin the blood is canceled. This is due to the prevention of postoperative bleeding. You can continue taking anticoagulants after complete healing of the skin after surgery. Eating 6-8 hours before surgery is not recommended. Also included is shaving the genital area.
Carrying out
An open operation is performed within half an hour. General anesthesia is usually administered by injection. The surgeon makes an incision on the skin along the coronary groove, then moves it to the base of the organ.
After exposing up to five large trunks of nerves, the surgeon makes incisions in their front part. Then the nerve endings are sutured with self-absorbable material, and the skin with small sutures. Sometimes the nerves are not sutured, but the circumcision is performed. If nerve suturing is required, the operation is called denervation.
The patient can leave the hospital on his own several hours after the end of the operation, however, a prerequisite is to visit a specialist for dressings.
Patient reviews of the denervation of the glans penis should be consulted in advance.
If the operation is carried out in a closed manner, an anesthetic is injected into the patient's penis. Next, the surgeon by palpation determines the most sensitive areas under the skin. Nerve endings are cauterized by a radio knife, laser or electric current. Scars may form at the site of exposure.
Rehabilitation
After the operation on the denervation of the head, the specialist gives the patient the following recommendations:
- Refusal of sexual activity up to three weeks.
- Do not physically load yourself, do not lift weights.
- Do not engage in jogging or heavy sports.
- If puffiness appears, use an elastic bandage.
Complications
According to reviews of the denervation of the head, immediately after the operation, edema, hemorrhages, hematomas and other natural manifestations can be observed. Severe consequences of surgical intervention are quite rare and are in the following conditions:
- Inflammation on the skin of the penis, which appears as a result of infection of the organ in violation of the time of dressings.
- Complete loss of penis sensitivity.
- Erectile disorders that occur as a result of pathological processes in the nervous, vascular or hormonal systems of the body.
If these conditions are observed, you should consult a doctor.
Head denervation reviews
Quite a lot of men with impaired sensitivity of the glans penis decide on surgical intervention consisting in denervation. The operation itself is recognized by men as painless and safe. According to reviews, there are no complications in the postoperative period, swelling subsides quite quickly, and healing occurs without unpleasant consequences.
However, men after denervation argue that sensitivity returns six months to a year after surgery, that is, relapse is often observed. Therefore, male representatives often express doubts about the feasibility of surgery and prefer drug therapy. Nevertheless, everyone notes that even with a relapse, the situation with ejaculation is not as deplorable as before denervation. However, for many, this becomes a way out, especially in cases where the drugs are not effective.
We examined what denervation of the glans penis and reviews of this operation are.
