A member asked:
Have bulging disc with minor impingement on l5 and s1 nerve. can that cause sensory numbness on penis shaft? sensation in head intact however.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No : To my knowledge, the sensory supply to the penile shaft is via pudendal nerve branches which originate from the S2-S4 levels. A minor L5-S1 nerve compression would not cause this symptom.
