Q: Coping with an abnormal frenulum

asked by: DoctorQuestion on January 26th, 2009

But when I tried stretching my foreskin, I noticed that my frenelum might be too short. I am afraid further stretching will cause it to tear. Is it safe to continue stretching exercise ?

If the head of the penis bends down then the frenulum might be too short. Further stretching can not tear the frenulum. You just have to be patient. If the frenulum is too short then you might feel pain on the lower side of the head of the penis when trying to pull the foreskin.
