Tight Frenulum
Tight Frenulum:
A tight frenulum, also known as frenulum breve, occurs when the frenulum (the skin connecting the foreskin to the glans) is shorter than normal, causing pain, discomfort, and potential tearing during erections or sexual activity.
Here’s a more detailed explanation:
What is a frenulum breve?
Anatomy:
The frenulum is the small piece of skin that connects the foreskin to the glans (the head of the penis).
Condition:
In frenulum breve, the frenulum is shorter than usual, leading to a tight or restricted foreskin.
Symptoms:
- Pain or discomfort around the foreskin, especially during erections.
- Tearing or bleeding of the frenulum during sexual activity or erections.
- Difficulty retracting the foreskin.
Causes:
The exact cause of frenulum breve is not fully understood, but it is believed to be a congenital condition.
Treatment Options:
Non-surgical:
- Stretching exercises to try and lengthen the frenulum.
- Steroid creams to help make the skin more elastic.
Surgical:
-
-
- Frenuloplasty: A surgical procedure to release the frenulum and reduce tension.
- Frenulectomy: A procedure where the frenulum is completely removed.
- Circumcision: In some cases, circumcision can be considered as a treatment option.
- “Pull and burn” method: A procedure that uses high-frequency electrical current to destroy the short and tight frenulum.
