Frenuloplasty

Frenuloplasty is a simple and effective procedure that addresses issues with a short frenulum (frenulum breve) on the underside of the penis, alleviating discomfort during sexual activity and enhancing overall quality of life.

What is Frenuloplasty?

Frenuloplasty is a minor surgical procedure designed to correct issues with the frenulum, a small band of tissue located on the underside of the penis that connects the glans to the foreskin. When the frenulum is too short, it can cause discomfort or pain during sexual activity, a condition known as frenulum breve. Frenuloplasty involves lengthening the frenulum, allowing for greater ease of movement and improved comfort.

Signs & Symptoms

Individuals who may benefit from frenuloplasty often experience pain or discomfort during erections or sexual intercourse. The tightness caused by a short frenulum can lead to tears in the tissue, resulting in bleeding or scar tissue formation. These symptoms can lead to sexual dysfunction, reduced sexual satisfaction, and anxiety surrounding sexual activity.

Suitable for men of all ages.
Ideal for those who have not found relief through non-surgical methods.
