Hi Abhilash,
Your symptoms suggest a neurogenic bladder after the spinal injury and surgery.
The loss of sensation and weakness in your private parts and legs indicates a neurological cause for your erection problem as well.
You need evaluation by a spine specialist and urologist (urodynamics, imaging) to plan medicines, rehab and possible catheter/other interventions.
I would like to tell you that recovery from neurological disease needs time and proper coordination from urologist and a neurologist.

What you’re experiencing is physically and mentally traumatic. Feeling hopeless or scared is normal, but this is not the end. Many spinal injury patients: Walk again partially or fully Regain bladder control Return to independent life
When you experience a lack of sensation or movement in your legs, feet, and genital area after a spinal operation, these symptoms might be related to nerve damage or compression resulting from your spinal injury or surgery. The spinal cord is crucial for sending signals between your brain and the rest of your body, and surgery or injury can disrupt this. Your ability to feel normal sensations in your penis and the need to apply pressure to urinate could point to nerve involvement affecting both motor and sensory pathways. It’s critical to contact your healthcare provider about these issues as soon as possible. There might be several underlying causes, such as spinal cord injury or nerve damage, and both need to be evaluated by a specialist. The timing can be important—early intervention can sometimes prevent deterioration or facilitate better recovery. Meanwhile, you might benefit from seeing a neurologist or a rehabilitation specialist who can assess your condition and recommend rehabilitation exercises tailored to improve mobility, function, and bladder control. Pelvic floor physiotherapy and occupational therapy may also provide techniques or devices to assist with daily activities while you recover. Avoid self-medicating or testing unproven treatments, and instead, focus on adhering to the evidenced-based practices advised by your healthcare team. Keep monitoring any changes in symptoms, as these may help guide further treatment decisions. Always inform your doctor of any difficulties managing daily life, as adjustments or additional resources might be necessary to ensure your safety and quality of life.
Hello Abhishek I’m really sorry to hear about your situation. It sounds like you’re experiencing significant challenges following your spinal surgery. Loss of movement in your legs and difficulties with bodily functions can be very distressing.
Here are some steps you can consider: 1. Follow-Up with Your Surgeon: It’s crucial to keep in touch with your surgeon or the medical team who performed your operation. They can assess your recovery and determine if there are any complications or if further interventions are needed. 2. Physical Therapy: Engaging in physical therapy can be beneficial. A physiotherapist can help you with exercises tailored to your condition, which may aid in regaining some movement and strength. 3. Occupational Therapy: An occupational therapist can assist you in adapting to daily activities and finding ways to manage toileting and other personal care needs. 4. Neurological Evaluation: If you haven’t already, consider a neurological evaluation to understand the extent of any nerve damage and explore potential treatments. 5. Support Groups: Connecting with others who have experienced similar challenges can provide emotional support and practical advice.
