Im 28 and got circumcisized 12 days ago because of tight foreskin. all is almost healed except the frenulum. nowadays i always wrap a cotton bandage around my penis head around the frenulum because the wound keeps on rubbing against my testis, its always wet with white raw skin or flesh. anyway there is no bleeding only a slight swelling that is not noticable and a clear discharge on the frenulum wound. Q: is this normal. im using neosporin ointment. Please advice.

I am a 21 year old circumcised male who has researching the causes of premature ejaculation I have been facing. After I have realized that I may not have the usual symptoms mentioned in many different websites (although still may), I have noticed an unusual extra tiny piece of skin right where my frenulum ends (bottom end). It is very hard to describe but the only similar thing I have found to help me describe is a skin tag, except that its very soft even during an erection. The problem I am facing is that I believe it might be causing my PE because its more sensitive than both the frenulum and corona when stimulated, and therefore causes me to ejaculate earlier than usual.
Looking forward for advice.

Thanks.

I was csd when I was around 8 yrs old due to foreskin tightness. I am now pushing towards 50 and I have experienced extreme discomfort during erections since I can remember. During erections my testicle sack tightens and pulls the testicles up into my lower abdomen. I also can experience slight cracking in my skin that covers the length of my penis and can be quite sore after sex.

I feel as though the circumcision that was carried out when I was a child was done in such a way that my penis is held in a very tight outer skin and I have always felt that I was going to split. Everything feels so tight. Could the circumcision be responsible for these issues?  

Hi, I'm 19 years old and I am circumcized for 8 years. But recently, after I masturbate (relax10 minutes) I've experienced a slight pain and discomfort. The next day, it seems my frenulum had teared

a little bit at the edge where the frenulum connected to my peehole . there aren't any blood or pain just a feeling of discomfort. Five days of not doing anything, the cut was gone but then i've had an erection and it opens up again.

I had no idea what to do, should I go to a doctor or should I let it heal by itself cause its only been five days. If so, does avoiding erections make it heal faster???

hello sir,

I m 26 yrs old. i having problem during sex ......i got cut on frenulum during  sex and after blood is comes out, i examine the cut and find out that frenulum got cut and after some time no pain no any erection, after some days again during sex my frenulum gone cut agian and blood come out....so what to do now, is that my frenulum having some problem or my frenulum still not dolvepled and during masturbate no problem at all.

So What to do now plz tell me as soon as possible

Thank You

Hi,

As an intact man with a tight foreskin - who has also undergone frenuloplasty for frenulum breve - I'd like to contribute something about frenulum sensitivty, perhaps it's of value.

I've seen a lot of cut guys complain about their missing frenulum - as is their right. But my point to restoring men is that the frenulum isn't necessarily this amazing male G-spot:

My frenulum was so thick and tight that I couldn't retract. If I stayed erect for a long time, the frenulum would become sore - for most of my life I thought that was normal.  That area was like gristle, it was so tight. For me as an intact male, my frenulum only felt pain, not pleasure -- I realised the good feelings from touching my frenulum was in fact pressure on the area itself - especially pulling on the meatus. Now, post-frenuloplasty, that still feels exactly as good. 

Although no tissue is lost in a frenuloplasty (as the frenulum is just a crease in the skin), I can claim to be an intact man with little-to-no frenulum, now. Prior to the op I worried I'd lose sensitivty by losing my frenulum - but I haven't lost one iota - I've only lost discomfort. 

Perhaps mine was a special case due to the tightness, but my point is: once you've restored your foreskin and have regained glans sensitivity, you'll be feeling what a lot of intact men feel. For me it was the frenular area that felt great - as it still does - and not the frenulum itself.

I hope that was of value to someone. Keep up the good work, all of you.

So, this is my brief (and ongoing) story about a torn frenulum & scar tissue...

Back in 2007, I noticed some slight tightness and itching in my foreskin. Some redness was present as well. Since I had a candida infection in the past, I used the same medication and the redness was gone. Case closed... (or was it?)

In the following months, I started having intermittent events of redness, itching and a slightly discolored band formed in the skin around the glans. The discoloration was very slight, and would "come and go", which is weird. I had my first consultation with an urologist that said it was hard to say what it could be, but it was nothing serious. He offered no explanation to the discoloration of the occasional itching.

The problem persisted and I visited another urologist. He looked around and said it *could* be a very early case of balanitis, but he didn't believe it to be. This was some year and a half after the start of the problem. He said he didn't know what the discoloration was (at this point, getting more obvious), but believed it could be vitiligo. His recommendation was to undergo a circumcision, which "maybe" would fix the problem.

Somewhere between 2007 and 2009, I started feeling discomfort in the area. Sometimes pain, but it was hard to locate exactly where. Sex started to get somewhat painful. By stretching the skin and holding other parts (isolating them from the tension), it became clear that the pain came from the frenulum area. I visited yet another urologist who also suggested circumcision as a possible solution. When I asked firmly how it would help, she said she was unsure it would help at all :\ She referred me to a dermatologist.

I've been following up with the dermatologist with mixed results since 2009 or so. In short, I can now clearly feel heavy scar tissue in the frenulum. The only way to improve things is by using steroidal creams, but a few weeks after I stop, things will get bad again. I also tried an steroidal injection under the skin the made it better for months, but was not a permanent solution. A more recent problem is that my foreskin in general seems "sensitive" and will become "red and angry" for anything. Just casual sex for two days will trigger this. Using moisturizing lotions before going to bed every night helps, but if things get too red, only the steroidal cream for a few days will help.

In 2013, I consulted with yet another urologist, specifically asking for a fourth opinion. This doctor said it was indeed a weird problem for which there was no specific solution. He proposed a surgery to "partially rebuild" the frenulum using the adjacent skin and some special stitches he uses on baby surgeries. Of all urologists, this seems to be the most knowledgeable, but again, he said it's quite possible the surgery will "make my penis look uglier" as some screen flap may remain. He also said I'll probably have to sign a ton of forms, since doctors are afraid of doing any kind of penile reconstructive surgery due to lawsuits.

So, in short, I find it amazing that five doctors cannot provide a proper solution to something apparently so simple and common. The solution given to every urologist in America seems to be "circumcise!" even when they say there's absolutely NO guarantees that things will improve! I'm considering traveling to a country where circumcision is less common in search of a solution or a "more experienced" opinion.

Hope it helps someone out there.
