Enlarged frenulum

The frenulum is a small skin wrinkle on the head of the penis, located in the lower abdomen of the glans penis. It contains many blood vessels and has a strong ability to stretch and contract. It can respond according to the erection and contraction of the penis. It is the transmission hub of the penile nerve. If the frenulum is enlarged, it will affect the erection of the penis and cause penile pain, etc. This is mainly caused by diseases such as glansitis and condyloma acuminatum.

Anatomical name: A small skin fold located on the midline of the ventral side of the glans penis. Located in the lower part of the glans penis, it also exists inside the foreskin, connected to the lower part of the urethral opening of the glans penis through the coronal sulcus, and has abundant blood vessels. It has strong elasticity and can be significantly extended when the penis is erect, and significantly shortened when the penis is flaccid. It is connected to the foreskin of the penis, and the front end of its free edge can reach the vicinity of the external urethral opening, moving backward to the penile suture.

Lacing function

Since the main nerve branches of the pudendal nerve responsible for body sensation and input are mainly in the skin of the glans penis, and there are branch nerve terminals passing through the frenulum, especially one of the small branches is specifically distributed to the frenulum of the prepuce, the frenulum of the prepuce 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.

Causes of pain

1. Inflammation: If you have had inflammation on your genitals, it may also cause pain in the frenulum.

2. Infection: If the frenulum is infected, the pain will generally be very obvious, as the frenulum is very sensitive to external stimuli.

3. Allergy: Some people think that allergy will only cause itching, but this is a big misunderstanding. The frenulum is responsible for the sensation and transmission of the most important branch of the pudendal nerve, the dorsal penile nerve, which is distributed to the back of the penis. A small allergy may also cause pain in the frenulum.

4. Trauma: Some surgical wounds or other trauma such as collisions may cause frenulum pain.

It is best to promptly examine the specific cause and then provide targeted treatment. Blind medication may mask or aggravate the condition.

Short belt hazards

1. The frenulum of the penis is short and tight, causing pain in men during erection or sexual intercourse.

2. Sexual intercourse causes repeated tearing and bleeding of the frenulum. Long-term and repeated pain during sexual intercourse not only affects and dilutes the feeling of sexual pleasure, but also affects the frequency, amplitude and strength of penis twitching, making it difficult to stimulate the excitement of the ejaculation center, making ejaculation difficult to cause pain, and limiting erection, making sexual intercourse impossible to complete.

3. The fear of pain in sexual life will inevitably affect the quality of sexual life. If it is not corrected in the long run, it will increase the inhibitory effect of the cerebral cortex, and ultimately cause low libido, weak erection, and even impotence.

4. The fear of pain during sexual intercourse caused by the frenulum will inevitably reduce the quality of sexual life, bring a heavy psychological burden to patients with a short frenulum, and seriously affect the interpersonal relationship between couples.
