I just got back from surgery, it was okay!
I didn't feel anything really, but I got a bandage now and that's a bit annoying, and it keeps bleeding a bit

anyway, moral of the story: the surgery was no big deal at all
i just hope the next days aren't too bad...

I'll keep you informed

Someone messaged me about the surgery
i thought i'd share what I wrote him:

-----------

hello there

well, the first thing I wanna say is you should definatly go see a doctor and stop trying. The more it'll rip, the harder it'll be to get it fixed

my surgery went great, when they do it you won't feel a thing
but the days afterwards were kind anasty I have to be honest
my whole penis was wrapped in a bandage, cuz it kept bleeding for about a week, not heavily, but the little part where they had cut the skin was always sticking in the bandage and it ripped when I took it off

and I had to apply a new bandage daily with some healingcrème or whatever

anyway, the days after that were ok, it stung a bit when I pulled my forskin backwards and it was really sensitive
but after about, I dunno, a month or something, it got better and about 2 months after surgery I had sex and it went just great

it healed very well, the frenulum was still a bit tight at first, but after some more sex (hehe) it got better, I think it needs to be streched a bit

moral of the story: it's a bit nasty first, hurts a few days, but in the end it's worth it and it will probably guarantee a very god sexlife for the rest of you days, no more worries about ripping and stuff

but like I said, go see a doctor, he'll know what to do more precise in your situation

hope this helps, good luck!

I see some people are messaging me,

please, don't be afraid to post your questions here, so we can help as much people as possible !

Cheers

Oy.
For anyone who's asked a doctor about their potential frendulum breve problem....What happens when you see them?
Do you have to ..Y'know, show them your problem?
Cause that might be awkward.

well yeah, it might feel a bit weird at first, but think about it:
the doctor that does the surgery is a urologist
he/she sees penises or vaginas daily, all the time, every patient...

They handle it completely professional, so you shouldn't be ashamed of it

when I had my appointment, he first talked to me, about the problem and why I thought I had it, if I had sex before, etc.

Then he said ok sit down (in his special chair) and drop your pants

ok, so that was a bit akward/funny

but then he looked at it, very careful, and he agreed I had frenulum breve

a 'trick' to see if you have it, is when you pull your forskin backwards and your frenulum gets white (cuz the blood in it gets pushed away by the pulling of it) and it obviously prevents pulling it further

hmm, dunno if this helps you at all, but really, I stress that everybody with a problem or a question shouldn't be afraid to post it here
a lot of men have it, but not much info is available in my opinion

so talk and help eachother

I see a lot of people making topics about this

i wish I could make my topic a sticky or something, you all seem to miss it and I think it's quite helpful

so here's a bump!

Hey, thanks for the reply, breve. ^_^
so it's not your doctor who takes a look, its a urologist.
Sweet.
I believe my problem does fall into that "area turning white" category.
I'm making arrangements now to see my doctor about it all.

Thanks for the help.

Hello all,this is my first post here, from what i gathered i have the condition named 'frenulum breve' aswell, and i have a few questions regarding it.

Because i am never able to fully retract the foreskin, most of the times i suffer from premature ejaculation, my only way around it right now is to pull my testicles between my feet and hold them there so my foreskin is as retracted and immobile as possible, but this only works when my girlfriend is on top and it's a bit wierd for me to do this little set-up each time, basically i dont want my foreskin to rub up and down my penis during intercourse, i understood that if i could retract it all the way it'd just stay that way and my problems would dissapear.

I read on the web about so-called stretching exercises and i tried those but with no results. So i had my girlfriend pull as hard as she could, it's not really painfull, i feel some discomfort but the pleasure makes up for it. She tried several times but it didnt tear and we gave up. I kept doing those stretching exercises and one day when i was taking a shower i noticed the upper part of the frenulum was looking like it was bruised so i pulled again as hard as i could and it ripped a little bit and bled, i waited a few days for it to heal and now it's about half as thin, it's like i carved a bit of it out.

And here is my question, if i were to continue pulling, would it eventually rip completely and i would be able to retract my foreskin all the way?

I considered going to the doctor to get a frenuloplasty but that's not really an option for me, i dont think there are many doctors that can do that here plus i'm really shy about these things with my family.

So, i'm in need of some advice/suggestions

It depends, I guess. lol
I just got my frenulum breve corrected. Went last weekend. They did a cystoscopy to see if there wasn anything that might be bothered by doing the "operation". That was teh most painful part..Havea tube stuck in there..And even that was only midly uncomfortable.
the doc used a special kind of heat-needle and snipped the problem in about 2 minutes. Next thing I know, I'm walking home happy. No more frenulum breve. What a relief. Seriously.
ONly prob is......I'm not allowed to have sex (penetrative or oral), or even masturbate for a whole week...While the burn mark heals.
I guess the doctors have made a new way of correcting frenulum breve. The new procedure (the heat needle thing) just burns it back without any pain. Doesn't even draw blood. Frickin win!

the urologist that did my surgery told me a lot of people with frenulum breve get their frenulum ripped and then they wait for it to heal

and then they rip it again, wait for it to heal

etc. etc.

but every time you rip it, it get's weaker, and it will rip more easily the next time

plus, it will get harder and harder to do a surgery

so I really suggest you just go see a urologist (there was one in our local hospital so I guess you could go look for one there)
and see what he thinks is the best for you

good luck

reaaally glad to hear the surgery went fine!

waiting for a week might be hard but trust me it's soooooo worth it haha

take care, I hope I helped you out

Jeah, dude. You were the one to give me the idea of what to do. I give you props for that!

Hahhaha and I know watchya mean. a certain lady friend of mine is starting to get a little "anxious" if you know what I mean.
She'll be thankful at the end of this week too. <---again, that means extra thanks, breve!

haha no problem man, this makes me very very very veeeeery happy I swear

I remember the doctor said I should try to not get an erection as well during that 'revalidation week'

but I just had a week off at school and I saw my girl almost daily, that was really hard! or well... not 'hard' haha

just like, watch a chill movie or something, week will be over in no time

again, I'm very happy I helped someone!
I probably won't ever hear from you again so good luck and all the best!

Well thats not really good news, if it'll just rip and rip again, but wont it get loose after it rips? Meaning, more loose each time it rips untill it finally becomes long enough ?

Each time it rips, when it heals, it forms more scar tissue. Scar tissue is tough, not stretchy, so ripping it over and over may cause it to be tighter, not looser.

This is very true. I first had a rip of the frenulum when I was 18 (losing a pint of blood), and it plagued the next five years of my life, ripping badly twice more and in a minor way n numerous occasions. Sex became so traumatic, with the threat of more pain and blood constantly in the back of my mind, that I began to lose my interest in sex and show the early signs of erectile dysfunction. The vicious cycle was completed by the fact that every time I did become genuinely aroused and got a full erection, I was more likely to injure my penis again. Finally I underwent a full circumcision (removal of the frenulum and the entire foreskin) about a month ago - although it was pretty traumatic in itself being cut and scarred, I know it was one of the best decisions I've ever made.

Hey all,

I believe I have this condition known as frenulum brevity (breveity?). I can pull my foreskin back just fine while non-erect, but once erect it barely goes back at all, being held by the "frenulum". From everything I've heard, it sounds like this condition. I have no problem, ahem, spanking the monkey, however I am concerned this could interfere with future sexual relationships. About treatment, in the UK, how would you go about getting this treated? Would you see your GP, or go directly to a urinary health place?

Thanks loads

Edit: R.e. the operations described above, how bad is the anesthetic injection? You say it's not bad, but I am a self professed wimp. Cheers

i was just reading this stuff about frenulum ripping, and during oral sex I accidentally ripped my boyfriends foreskin. is this really serious, will he need an operation?

Hi folks

I'm no expert, h123, but I think the most important thing to find out is whether the frenulum snapped or whether it was just a cut in the foreskin which I think can be treated like any other cut. Here's a picture of what the frenulum looks like: http://secretpenis.com/frenulum.jpg

I only recently realised that frenulum breve could be an issue for me. It's funny because I always used to be a bit embarrassed about my unusual and small penis. I feel much better now that I have been able to shed some light on my sexual health and find names for things that used to be a bit of a mystery.

I find that the foreskin only just sits underneath the glans during sex. The frenulum looks white and stretched. Might it snap? Should I feel worried about this? I should say that I am now 33 so perhaps if it was going to snap then it would have done so by now.

One condition that I do have is balanitis. Does anyone else here have it? I used to assume that patches of everyone's glans are always a little inflamed and red. But I must admit that it was a little worrying when cuts would open up during masturbation.

I have found a really good website here - http://www.stdservices.on.net/std/balaniti s/facts.htm - and starting today I am following the instructions.

I'll tell you what. It is so much better to be able to explain my penis problems to worried girlfriends using medical terms rather than coming up with the unconvincing "Er.. I think it's because I've got a bigger foreskin than average"!

Yours

I had exactly what you're having now.

Me and my partner were just beginning sex, and she mounted me. She went down on it a few times and it felt really dry and tight, obviously she wasn't wet enough yet - but after going down on it a third or fourth time, it hurt really bad, and without me being able to stop her the fifth time due to lack of communication, my frenulum tore and left me to run to the bathroom with blood going everywhere, all over me, the floor, the sheets, the sink. It was only after it clotted up a little that it actually stopped bleeding continuously - it's definitely not pleasant. I was traumatised by it, not knowing beforehand what had happened, and i thought i'd broken my penis :/

But after some research, i realised it'll just heal up - and when it does, it'll either heal up further apart (Which is what mine appears to have done, and it is no longer too tight) or it will heal back together again, and return to being tight.

I would say the best way out of the situation, is to get the operation that opens the length of it a little. It's either that, or wait until it breaks and hope it doesn't heal up tight again.

I'm not sure what other options there are, but the operation seems the easiest and most hassle free.

I look back on it breaking and laugh, and now me and my partner think it was pretty funny. But when it happens, it's the epitome of pain.

I hope my opinion helped!
