Can Sexual Dysfunction Be Caused Due To The Perineum’s Prolonged Exposure To Ice?

Is it possible that direct prolonged exposure to ice in the perineum area can cause pudendal neuralgia and sexual dysfunction? I have been suffering from acute pain in the shaft of my penis, lost sensation in the perineum, pain in the perineum and lower back and an inability to get an erection (sexual dysfunction). It is a fierce stabbing and burning pain that is unrelenting. Could this have been caused by prolonged exposure to an ice pack? How long will it take this apparent nerve issue to resolve?

Hi, I think any exposure to excessive temperature can lead to neuralgia and sexual dysfunction. But you should go for evaluation by a urologist to rule out any other cause. You may need some blood tests like thyroid profile, prolactin levels, serum testosterone, Blood sugars and lipid profile. A penile doppler test may be needed.
