Penis numbness after sitting for a long time

The penis refers to the male reproductive organ, which is a very critical part. Many men will easily experience penile numbness if they sit for a long time in their lives. This is because long-term sitting can easily lead to poor blood flow in the penis, which can easily cause numbness. Penile diseases can also easily lead to this condition, which needs to be improved in time.

Why does my penis feel numb after sitting for a long time?

This may be caused by long periods of sitting, which leads to poor blood flow in the lower body and poor blood circulation in the penis. This often happens to people who don't like to exercise, and some occupational diseases. You can go to a regular hospital for an examination. If there are no other reasons, you don't need to take medicine. It is recommended to wear loose underwear, exercise more, don't sit for a long time, and eat more beef, lean meat and other foods to enhance nutrition.

Organizational structure

The blood supply to the penis comes from the dorsal penile artery, a branch of the external iliac artery. During sexual arousal, the three branches of the dorsal penile artery and its arterioles dilate, increasing blood flow; the arteriovenous communication branch is blocked, venous return decreases, and the cavernous sinus becomes congested, causing penile erection. The head of the penis has abundant nerve endings, so the frenulum of the penis, the coronary sulcus, and the area around the urethral opening are particularly sensitive to external mechanical stimulation. The afferent nerve of sensory sensation is the dorsal penile nerve. After reaching the low sexual response center of the sacral cord, the efferent parasympathetic nerve innervates the penile vascular smooth muscle and changes the vascular state. Pathological changes in the penile blood vessels and nerves can affect mating function.

Two natural states

1. When relaxed, it hangs below the pubic symphysis, with an average length of X=6.55, S=1.023, X±1.96S=6.55±2.046 (4.5-8.6) cm, a maximum of 10.6 cm, and a minimum of 3.7 cm; an average transverse diameter of X=2.57.S=0.255, X±1.96S=2.57±0.57 (2.06-3.08) cm, a maximum of 4.3 cm, and a minimum of 1.9 cm.

2. When erect, the penis forms an angle of 90° or more with the pubic mons with the pubic symphysis as the axis, and the length increases by 1 to 2 times compared to normal, and the volume and hardness increase accordingly. It is generally believed that the swelling rate of a smaller penis when flaccid is greater than that of a larger penis, so it is rare for a penis that is too small or too large to affect mating.

Related diseases and treatments

1. Penile cancer is a common reproductive system tumor. In the 1950s and 1960s, it ranked first in the incidence of male urogenital tumors in China. In recent years, with the improvement of people's living standards and the continuous improvement of medical and health conditions, its incidence has been declining year by year.

2. Most penile tumors are penile cancers that originate from penile epithelial cells. Phimosis and prepuce are recognized as the causes of penile cancer. Penile cancer is a malignant tumor that can be prevented. Studies have found that circumcision in infancy or childhood can effectively prevent the occurrence of this disease. For those with long prepuce that can be turned up, regular cleaning can also prevent cancer.
