### Sensory Nerves and Surgery

Penile sensory nerves are preserved during surgery. The procedure avoids:

- Glans tissue
- Erectile chambers
- Major neurovascular structures

Temporary numbness due to swelling may occur but typically resolves.

---

### Erectile Function

Erections are unaffected because:

- Blood vessels are preserved
- Erectile tissue is not altered

Patients are advised to avoid sexual activity for **six weeks** to allow proper healing.

---

### Medical Conclusion

When performed by a qualified Urologist, penis enlargement surgery **does not negatively affect sensitivity or function**.
