Frenuloplasty for Men

Last updated on June 9th, 2024 at 02:24 pm

Introduction 

Frenulum is a tiny elastic-like band of tissue that connects the glans of the penis to the foreskin underneath. In some cases, the frenulum is too short, which causes pain and discomfort at the time of erection which can be treated by Frenuloplasty.

Frenuloplasty is a surgical procedure performed to increase the length of the frenulum through a small incision. It is one of the best and most effective treatment options for Frenulum Breve, as the result of the procedure can be visible after 6 weeks and sometimes sooner. This procedure can be done within 30 minutes. The aftercare is relatively simple, with some recommended painkillers and Ibuprofen tablets.

Why is Frenuloplasty done?

Frenuloplasty is performed to modify the length of the frenulum. It is used to treat painful erections of the penis. 

Who needs a Frenuloplasty? 

Frenuloplasty is recommended for the men who experience the following problems:

1. Tearing and bleeding of the penile foreskin.
2. Painful sexual intercourse.
3. Frequent infections of the penis. 

How is Frenuloplasty done?

This procedure is performed under local anesthesia or general anesthesia by dividing the skin of the short penile frenulum across and re-stitching it lengthwise. The penis is then wrapped up with a loose bandage, which falls off on its own. 

Advantages of Frenuloplasty

1. Painless Procedure.
2. Doesn’t require hospital admission. 
3. High success rate. 
4. No long-term side effects.
