Frenuloplasty
A minor surgical procedure used to treat a short frenulum and improve comfort and function.
Frenuloplasty is a procedure that treats frenulum breve, a condition where the band of tissue beneath the penis is too tight or short. This condition can cause discomfort during erections or sexual activity and may lead to tearing or bleeding.
The frenulum is a small band of tissue located on the underside of the penis that connects the foreskin to the glans (head of the penis).
In most men the frenulum stretches normally and allows the foreskin to move freely. However, in some cases the frenulum may be shorter than usual, restricting movement of the foreskin.
This condition is known as frenulum breve.
Frenulum breve occurs when the frenulum is too tight or short. This can prevent the foreskin from moving comfortably during erections or sexual activity.
Symptoms may include:
In some cases the condition can also contribute to foreskin tightness.
