I had a circumcision on the NHS on 26th October this year , the urologist also left my frenulum intact, I did think they would take it all away , I spoke to my son who had a circumcision two years ago aged 29 & he said they took everything away from him including his frenulum

mine was not remove, and because of the botched circumcision, the second doctor remove small portion of frenulum.

this is been 1 month after process, frenulum area give most pleasure and will keep your penis harder erection :)

The sole purpose of the frenuluym is to _assist_ the foreskin to return to covering the glans as an erection subsides. Because after circumcision there is no foreskin, the frenulum is then totally redundant.

It is best removed both for aesthetic reasons and to prevent any residual pull on the remnants of foreskin that may result in them being pulled onto the glans, thus reducing stimulus and pleasure.

Most doctors will automatically remove the frenulum when doing a teen or adult circumcision, but some (regretably) see this as a source of additional income and charge extra for it. If you don't want the frenulum removed then tell your doctor and he will leave as much of it as is not necessarily removed during the circumcision itself.

nope, even mine are botched circumcision, i got frenulum cut surgery(frenuloplasty) after 1 month of circumcision and now still recovering, now at 40 days after frenuloplasty, my frenulum adapt with this lack of skin problem. There is still a tension at my frenulum but slowly reduce the sensitivity (not pleasure) and the pain go away.Dont worry, if your zsr ring just right below your glans, you are totally in a right hand doctor :)

Yes the cut is close to the gland . He just said that your frenulum was really short and we did what we could

I dont there will any problem in the future, if you have short frenulum usually doctor will cut it all so your penis dont bend downward.Your erection bend downward?

Sugarcrack3r in reply toGpsingh123

You are in 3 weeks and still in gauze ?usually people remove the bandage or gauze after the bleeding stop, like 4-5 days

you need to check it when erection happen is it bending or not
