Is it okay to have the frenulum removed?

The frenulum glans cannot be removed, as removal will affect the erection of the penis. This is mainly because the frenulum is the connecting tissue between the glans and the penis body. Removal of this tissue will affect nerve transmission, which is the most important stage of penile sensitivity. Therefore, the frenulum glans cannot be removed. Men need to understand the effects of removing the frenulum glans and the role of the frenulum glans. You can learn about the content below.

There is a skin fold connecting the glans and the penis body in the middle of the penis, called the frenulum. The frenulum is mainly responsible for body sensation and the most important branch of the pudendal nerve, the dorsal penile nerve, is distributed to the back of the penis, mainly the glans skin. In particular, one of its small branches is specifically distributed to the frenulum, so the frenulum is very sensitive to external stimuli. It and the coronal margin are the most sensitive parts of the penis and are one of the important sexual sensitive areas of men.

Due to the different development of the penis, the length and tightness of the frenulum are different. If it is short and tight, the glans penis will lean downward during erection, and may be torn due to excessive force during sexual intercourse, causing bleeding and pain. Frenulum rupture is mostly caused by excessive force or improper force during sexual intercourse, and often occurs in people with excessive foreskin. After the frenulum ruptures, it is not necessary to suture it to restore it to its original state. Generally, only simple pressure is applied to stop bleeding. It is best to clean it again, disinfect it, and bandage it to prevent infection. It will heal after three or four days of rest. In order to prevent the wound from rupturing again, sexual intercourse is prohibited within one week. If bleeding does not stop, go to the hospital. If the healing is not good and scars are formed or the frenulum is too short, it may cause penis erection or pain, which will affect future sexual life.

Can the frenulum be removed?

In the past, many people believed that the frenulum cannot be removed. Frenulum removal will affect the erection of the penis, as well as the amplitude, frequency and strength of the twitching in the vagina, making ejaculation delayed and difficult to occur. When the frenulum is torn or painful due to excessive tension during sexual intercourse, it will affect and dilute the feeling of sexual pleasure. At the same time, the fear of sexual 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 is not corrected for a long time, it will enhance the inhibitory effect of the cerebral cortex, and ultimately cause low libido, weak erection, and even impotence.

In fact, the current view is not like this. Frenulum circumcision is suitable for those who have penis curvature and deformation caused by short frenulum and have erection and sexual intercourse pain. During circumcision, the shortened frenulum is cut horizontally to the coronal sulcus and then sutured longitudinally to loosen and lengthen it. The surgery has achieved good results, breaking the taboo of not cutting the frenulum during surgery in the past. Their practical experience has confirmed that this surgery not only does not affect erection, but also has a positive effect on relieving and treating sexual dysfunction caused by short frenulum.

Therefore, if the patient meets the surgical indications, the frenulum must be removed, otherwise it will affect the normal married life.
