Small red string connecting my penis head to the foreskin

[Tenakth]

my penis has a small red string of flesh connecting my glans to the foreskin it doesn’t hurt unless I try pull back my foreskin too much. It doesn’t affect me but I think it might be a problem during sex, what is it and what should I do

It sounds like something called a foreskin bridge or adhesion. That's when a small piece of the foreskin remains attached to the glans. You could bring it up with your healthcare provider. There is a simple procedure that can detach the bridge or adhesion (if that's what it is). Good luck.

If you are not circumcised, what you are describing is your frenulum. It’s supposed to look like that. If it is tight, see your doctor to get some steroid cream to stretch it a bit.

I’ve got 2 different responses so far so I’m just gonna wait until the answer clarifies

For clarification   Tenakth , if you have been circumcised, my answer does not apply.

It does sound like a skin bridge. I had them and it got to the stage when sex was uncomfortable, so go see your health care provider and get checked out.

  Tenakth sometimes medical photos are worth a thousand words when trying to figure this type of stuff out. I was in a university course on men's health (which included penis health) so I have some good medical websites/studies I can pass along to you.

Tight Frenulum - If a man had a tight frenulum then it would be on the underside of the penis at what is called the median sulcus (indentation on the underside of the tip). In this link are examples of tight frenulums before they were corrected. These are from a urology clinic website that specializes in correcting tight frenulums. The photos in the "Before" section to get an idea of what tight frenulums look like. urologicalcare.com/frenulop...

Foreskin Bridge/Adhesion - A foreskin bridge/adhesion on the other hand would be a piece of foreskin attaching somewhere other than the median sulcus (attaching to the sides, back, or even underside but not at the median sulcus). These are often called foreskin bridges if it's a small piece of foreskin or an adhesion if it's a larger piece of foreskin. This link from a medical study shows a penis with three foreskin bridges (sides and back of penis tip). ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articl...

Hopefully this was a little more helpful in making a determination as to what you might be experiencing. If you aren't looking for images, you most definitely don't have to open the links. However, as with anything like this I think seeing a medical professional and having them assess your penis will definitely be the best way to figure out what exactly you have going on. Best of luck.
