Does a short frenulum require surgery?

There are many abnormalities in men's foreskin. Some people have long foreskin, some have long foreskin, and some have long foreskin and short frenulum. This abnormality of foreskin is very likely to have a huge impact on men's sexual life. Generally, circumcision surgery is required to effectively deal with this problem. Let's learn about it with the doctor below!

Although it is rare, the presence of a short frenulum of the penis usually causes pain when a man is erect or during intercourse, and sometimes it will continue to cause repeated tearing and bleeding of the frenulum of the penis. Long-term and repeated pain during intercourse often leads to many sexual problems. For example, when the frenulum of the penis is torn or painful due to excessive support during intercourse, it not only affects and dilutes the experience of sexual pleasure, but also affects the strength, frequency and amplitude of female vaginal twitching. At this time, it is impossible to stimulate the excitement of the ejaculation center, making it difficult for men to ejaculate; the pain will continue to limit erection, making it impossible to have sex.

The psychological fear of sexual intercourse pain will eventually reduce the quality of the couple's life, create a heavy psychological burden on the patient, and seriously affect the interpersonal communication between the couple. If it cannot be corrected for a long time, it will increase the inhibitory effect of the cerebral cortex; finally leading to decreased libido, insufficient erection hardness, and even impotence.

Health Tips: If a man's foreskin is too long and his frenulum is too short, it is very easy to injure his penis during sexual intercourse. Generally, men will feel pain in the penis, and sometimes it is more serious and even the glans bleeds, so men must be very careful.

What are the harms of having a long foreskin for boys?

1. Because of the long foreskin, secretions will accumulate. If they cannot be removed in time, bacteria will grow and multiply here, producing urine scale and emitting a foul odor. In more serious cases, inflammation will continue to occur, which is called balanitis. The rich and colorful sebaceous glands in the foreskin are rich in secretions. The foreskin is too long, so the secretions cannot be discharged, and they accumulate into scales, which are infested with many pathogens. Pathogens invading the urethra can cause urethral infection, which can cause balanitis, glansitis, urethritis, and can also increase the infection of genital warts, herpes and other diseases.

2. Affects the growth and development of the length and diameter of the male penis. During puberty, the glans penis is tightly wrapped by the foreskin and cannot receive the necessary external stimulation. The growth and development of the male genitals is restricted, resulting in a small diameter of the glans penis after the growth and development is complete. If the foreskin is too long and the foreskin is incarcerated in adults, it may cause necrosis of the glans penis in severe cases. Therefore, circumcision is performed on children around 3 years old in foreign countries.

3. Cause premature ejaculation, infertility and other symptoms. Because the glans penis mucosa is usually less stimulated, the nerves of the glans penis mucosa are overly sensitive. During sexual intercourse, the glans penis and the vagina rub against each other and cause ejaculation, which will continue to cause pain during sexual intercourse.
