Frenulum breve?

Images are hidden by default on this community.

Is it just me or my frenulum is insanely short? The picture is taken while erect and I feel great discomfort in the frenulum area.

I know none of you are health experts but surely if you are a male with a ‘healthy’ frenulum you can compare it to mine?!

Any comments greatly appreciated!

Yes, this is short, specially if you feel discomfort

Ocassionally I can get it behind the head when erect but it’s not the most comfortable thing in the world and I get worried that it may snap

You really need to show this to your doctor. The advice has to come from him / her.

(Does look a bit tight btw).

It’s not the way it should be. Yes it is very short and clearly causing issue too. You need to seek professional medical assistance to discuss your options.

Hi Man, yes it looks to be very tight you should be able to retract the foreskin freely without any discomfort. A simple frenuloplasty would resolve your problem so you should see your GP for a referral.

Yeah man that looks very, very short. I was reading about this last night because mine is also short. I can pull my foreskin back just fine when flaccid or semi-erect but when fully erect it is almost impossible and makes sex and sometimes masturbation very uncomfortable. I can get it back when fully erect but only if I pull it back when flaccid, then get an erection but I can't move the foreskin at all really because it feels like my frenulum will surely snap.

I am wondering if you can get the frenulum removed entirely but keep your foreskin intact.

See your doctor to put your mind at rest. There are different treatment options which can be discussed with him / her.

This looks identical to what I was dealing with. Really short frenulum but also tight foreskin, especially the band at top. I did frenuloplasty it helped a lot! They were able to release it and not fully remove it which is recommended.

Hi, I was considering getting mine fully removed but after reading into it a bit it is highly advised not to, so I was just wondering what you mean by they were able to release your frenulum without removing it entirely, like what was the procedure in your case and most importantly, is it still just as sensitive for you or is there any loss of sensation at all?

He’s talking about a frenuloplasty. Essentially they cut your frenulum and then elongate it so the tension is removed. I wouldn’t advise getting it removed fully.

Oh right, okay. That does sound much better than removing it entirely. I'm curios to how they can elongate it though, my knowledge on surgery is very limited and what you have just told me has amazed me tbh. I will definitely look into this frenuloplasty, thank you for the reply mate :)

There is plenty of info about the procedure on the web. It’s a very short operation however expensive if carried out privately by a reputable urologist. No worries and good luck🙏🏼

yep that does not look right. It is definitely short and you should never feel discomfort. Maybe u need some kind of surgery. Definitely talk to youre doctor

Hey, I have a similar issue,- but your seems to be much tighter than mine. I can just get the 4skin behind the head- where it often gets stuck,,, wondering if you have moved forward at all from your image, and if so what have you done, cheers :]

Hello my friend, yes it was very tight indeed. I had a frenuloplasty done today (very straightforward) and this is the only thing I’ve done in order to try and improve my symptoms. Tried those creams but they’re all a waste of time and wouldn’t help a tight frenulum anyway.
