A member asked:

Having a loss of sensation in penis after taking saw palmetto for hairless. is it a nerve damage? do i need to consult a urologist or neurologist?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Unlikely : it is unlikely that any loss of sensation in the penis is related to taking Saw Palmetto. you might want to discuss it with your primary care doctor if symptoms persist

I have a numb/aching penis after sex. This usually clears after a week or so. Presumably I have done something to a nerve. Is there a cream I can use to relieve the symptoms. I saw a urologist who didnt seem to think there was a problem.
