A rather common problem in men is a short frenulum on the penis. The frenulum (fold of skin) is located below the head of the penis and lies between the foreskin and the external opening of the urethra.
The normal frenulum in men is elastic and painless when erect. If during an erection there are unpleasant sensations, pain, curvature of the head downwards, caused by a strong tension of the frenulum, then you should consult a urologist.
As a rule, this problem can be identified already in adolescence, but due to shyness and distrust of adults, boys hide it. It is good if schools conduct an annual medical examination of adolescents by a surgeon who, having discovered a deviation from the norm of the frenulum on the penis, will give a referral for treatment (surgical intervention). Otherwise, the boy, as an adult, may face more significant problems in sex, and he may develop an inferiority complex and psychological problems.
A short bridle in a man can cause:
- disturbance of sexual intercourse due to pain;
-
frenulum in men early ejaculation;
- impotence;
- fear of sexual relations with a partner, which will lead to further psychological discomfort;
- Tearing the frenulum itself during intercourse or masturbation, which is accompanied by acute pain and severe bleeding that is difficult to stop. If you do not go to the doctor after such an injury, then during subsequent sexual intercourse, gaps may recur. Ugly painful scars form.
What if the bridle in men is short?
Firstly, see a doctor without waiting for negative developments. Many medical centers specialize in plastic surgery related to the lengthening of the short frenulum. Frenulotomy is an operation to transversely incise the frenulum to a depth of 5 mm. The edges of the wound are sutured with 2-3 sutures. The frenulum in men is lengthened due to the longitudinal lines of the seams. If there are scars on the bridle from previous breaks, then they are excised and sutured.
The operation is performed under mandatory local anesthesia and lasts from 10 to 30 minutes, after which the patient can go home. Basically, the bandage is not applied, the sutures are scarred quickly, without causing any inconvenience in the future. The patient will be able to live sexually no earlier than in a month. It is advisable to use a lubricant or a condom for the first intercourse after surgery.
Innovation in penis frenuloplasty
A short frenulum in men can be lengthened with special radio wave scalpels. The use of such a radio scalpel allows you to perform the operation more accurately without damaging neighboringtissue without causing heavy bleeding. The risk of postoperative complications is significantly reduced. Good therapeutic and cosmetic effect is provided. But professionals do not always agree with the greater expediency of using this method. According to them, a short frenulum in men is best lengthened by a traditional surgical operation - frenulotomy.
Most importantly, men who have a short frenulum problem should not delay resolving it. After the operation, unpleasant pain during erection and sexual intercourse will disappear.
