FRENULOPLASTY
Frenuloplasty releases and lengthens a restrictive frenulum while preserving the surrounding penile structures. It is considered when a short frenulum causes recurrent tearing, pain or functional problems.
Common Symptoms
Pain during erection or intercourse; recurrent frenulum tearing; bleeding after tearing; tight pulling sensation.
Causes of FRENULOPLASTY
A congenitally short frenulum or scarring after repeated inflammation or injury may cause restriction.
Risk Factors
Previous tearing; inflammation; anatomical short frenulum; scarring.
Diagnosis
Clinical examination is usually sufficient; additional tests are considered only when another condition is suspected.
Treatment Options
Frenuloplasty; circumcision when significant foreskin problems coexist; conservative care in selected cases.
Benefits of Treatment
Can relieve tension and reduce recurrent tearing; usually a limited surgical procedure.
Recovery & Aftercare
Healing usually takes several weeks. Sexual activity is avoided until the wound has healed as advised by the surgeon.
Prevention
Maintain appropriate hygiene; treat recurrent inflammation; follow post-operative wound-care instructions.
Possible Complications
Bleeding; infection; pain; scar sensitivity; recurrence or need for further treatment in selected cases.
