Q: Damaged phrenulum
asked by: DoctorQuestion on December 21st, 2008
the skin on my penis broke from the attached point on the my penis head, i think its called the banjo string. it broke during intercourse. it wasnt painful just lots of blood. i am using normal first aid products to treat it. I have not seen a doctor cuz its alittle embarassing. it seems to be healing ok, but a little piece is still on my penis head. is all this normal and should i be worried. will i need some kind of surgery or procedure to remove that little peice or to fix this???

According to the symptoms you reported, the tissue you have damaged is probably the phrenulum. The phrenulum is a string like peace of tissue that connects the lower side of the penis head to the foreskin of the penis. It is similar and looks like the phrenulum in the mouth that connects the lower side of the tongue to the floor of the mouth. When damaged the only possible complications are bleeding and infection. If the bleeding has already stopped, adequate antiseptics would be enough. The little piece can be removed surgically, but it is not necessary.
