If you are suffering from the symptoms of an overly tight frenulum, you may be worried that you will need a circumcision to give you relief.
Luckily for you, frenuloplasty has been specifically designed to stop your symptoms without having to lose your entire foreskin.
So, how does frenuloplasty work and why does it stop the need for circumcision?
Who might need a frenuloplasty?
If your frenulum is very short, it can become too tight. So named frenulum breve, it can go on to create a variety of symptoms, the most common of which include:
- Pain when trying to retract the foreskin over the head of the penis
- Difficulty in cleaning the head of the penis
- Hygiene issues because of the inability to clean the penis
- Painful or impossible sexual intercourse
- Bending of the penis
- Bleeding
As well as overlapping physical symptoms, psychological symptoms of dropping self-confidence and damaged self-esteem, isolation, and distress are likely to occur for men suffering from a too-tight frenulum.
What does frenuloplasty involve?
In its simplest terms, frenuloplasty is the removal or alteration of the frenulum, a small fold of tissue on the underside of the penis.
A simple procedure, often completed on an outpatient basis, it can be completed quickly with a simple local anaesthetic.
During the procedure, the urologist will divide the frenulum and restitch it vertically, which increases the length.
The cut is closed with dissolvable stitches which generally disappear in 2-3 weeks and finish by wrapping the penis in a loose bandage that falls off within a few hours.
This minimally invasive procedure allows surgeons to extend the frenulum and gives men back their freedom from pain without having to remove the entire foreskin with a circumcision.
