Since the penis is a muscle (i think!) would it be affected in the case of Limb-Girdle Muscular Dystrophy?
My friend with LGMD has lost use of his lower extremities but still has full use of his upper body, including his arms. He is not yet confined to a wheelchair however he really should be. He’s still struggling (a lot!!!) using only his crutches (along with many household helpers i.e., “grabbers, a walker…) and he receives a lot of help from friends and family! He can still have sex but it kind of seems like “it” doesn’t work as well as it used to. He is 47 yrs. old so it also could be just that he’s getting a little older. The overall difference is not an obvious one so it could also just be my imagination. Is the penis actually considered a muscle? I would think that if it is, he wouldn’t have ANY use of it, which he does.
