Penile frenulum lengthening surgery

The frenulum is a very important tissue for the human body. People without frenulum cannot carry out normal physiological activities. There is a frenulum under the tongue that controls the flexible movement of the tongue. If the frenulum is abnormal, it will have a great impact on the person. There are also many frenulums on the male penis, but some men's frenulums are very short. Let's learn about the frenulum lengthening surgery.

1. The harm of short frenulum of penis

Although it is rare for the frenulum of the penis to be too short, its existence often causes pain during erection or ejaculation in men, and sometimes causes repeated tearing and bleeding of the frenulum of the foreskin. Long-term and repeated pain causes obstacles. Especially when the frenulum is too tense, causing tearing or pain during the process, it also affects erection and makes it impossible to complete; the fear of pain will inevitably reduce the quality of sexual life, bring a heavy psychological burden to the patient, and seriously affect the interpersonal relationship between husband and wife. If it continues for a long time without being corrected, it will enhance the inhibitory effect of the cerebral cortex; ultimately causing low libido, weak erection, and even impotence.

2. What is the frenulum lengthening surgery?

A short frenulum can cause penile curvature and pain, especially when the penis is erect. The treatment is frenulum anastomosis.

Anesthesia and body position: Same as circumcision. Short frenulum often occurs in young men with long foreskin. After turning the foreskin up, the shortened frenulum of the penis can be seen. Some people suggest that during circumcision, the shortened frenulum of the penis should be cut horizontally to the coronal sulcus, and then fused longitudinally to loosen and lengthen it. The operation has achieved good results, breaking the taboo of not cutting the frenulum during previous operations. Experts have confirmed in clinical practice that this operation not only does not affect erection, but also has a positive effect on relieving and treating sexual dysfunction caused by the frenulum process.

3. Surgical procedures

1. Cut the tight frenulum horizontally at the level of the coronal sulcus of the penis, and the resulting penile curvature can be corrected.

2. Use two mosquito-type hemostatic forceps to clamp the middle of the upper and lower edges of the incision, and pull it vertically to open the incision. Then use fine thread to suture the incision vertically to straighten the penis.

3. Apply slight pressure and bandage to the surgical area after the operation.

IV. Precautions during and after surgery

1. When cutting the tight frenulum, be careful not to injure the small arteries beneath the frenulum. It is best to cut only the frenulum to correct the curvature of the penis.

2. The length of the incision should be slightly longer than the width of the frenulum and sutured vertically.

3. The bandage can be removed the next day after the operation, and the sutures can be removed one week later.

4. Antimicrobial drugs are not required after surgery.

5. You can return to normal half a month after the operation, but sexual intercourse should be resumed after one month. It is possible that the recovery time may be longer under special circumstances.

6. It is recommended to go to the hospital for a follow-up examination, avoid spicy food stimulation, and pay attention to cleanliness and hygiene.
