Can Dorsal Neurectomy Surgery Be Performed for PME?

Hello Ajay Ji,

Dorsal neurectomy is a surgical option that aims to reduce penile sensitivity by severing specific nerve branches. However, it is important to note that most medical guidelines do not recommend surgery as the primary treatment for PME. This is because:

• Surgery is generally considered only in specific and severe cases where other treatments have failed.
• There is a lack of robust clinical evidence supporting its long-term effectiveness.
• The procedure carries risks, including sensory loss, altered sexual experience, and complications.

Instead, first-line treatments for PME often include

• Medications (e.g., SSRIs or topical anaesthetics),
• Behavioural therapy and counselling,
• Lifestyle changes to manage contributing factors like stress or anxiety.

To provide more specific advice, could you share

1. How long have you been experiencing PME?
2. Have you tried non-surgical treatments such as medications or therapy?
3. Are there any ongoing medical conditions or previous treatments?
