No sex drive for 1 year after laser hair removal

Question

It has been 1 year since I have felt no sensation in my clitoris, and that was immediately after bikini laser hair removal. She went over everywhere, including my clitoris. Surely the heat damaged it. But if its nerve damage wouldnt I have felt soreness the next day? I have had my testosterone checked and it is normal. Please help!

Laser hair removal cannot affect sensation in the genitals. I suggest you see an expert to ensure there is not something more going on .  Best, Dr. Emer.

It is standard to go over genitalia in hair removal of bikini area if that is the patient wishes. This will not affect sensation or sex drive. it is best to discuss with your GYN to see what is the real reason.
