No sex drive for 1 year after laser hair removal

January 18, 2017
Asked By:stephanieadler in Los Angeles, CA

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!
