frenuloplasty penis procedure

Hello, I have some questions that I REALLY need answers too.

I have a rather large amount of foreskin and when I become erect it stays over top. I didn't even know it should be pulled back until I was 15. (still am 15, btw). Anyway, I did some online research and thought it was phimosis. This was until I noticed the front was easier to stretch then the back. When I was full erect I started paying attention to the back. I noticed the frenulum started rather high on the glans, was very noticable and didn't seem to be very long. I noticed that while pulling down more I could see it almost being stretched out.

I stopped to make sure there was no tearing. So, by this point I can only retract my foreskin, let's say, half way down. I am wondering if my case is so severe that frenuloplasty will not help.

Do I need to have a circumsision? I am fond of my foreskin, and would have to have say goodbye, but don't want to be a virgin my whole life.

Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

Does anybody know?

Most sites showed pictures of someone that could full retract, but the skin was tight and the head bent over a bit.

What about for someone who can't pull the foreskin all the way back? Is that to severe to even have the operation?

Thanks in advance.

Today (Friday March 30th 2007) i underwent a frenuloplasty operation:

i have a tight foreskin and short frenulum (presumably not anymore but havnt had courage to look) and circumcision is not the option ok.

I am 19 and until november 2006 i didnt even know i had to retract my foreskin and then once i tried it seemed to painful to go through with, but after more practice i fully retracted my foreskin behind the glans, honestly it gave a slight sharp pain but nothing else just a weird feeling came over me.

I then found the frenulum breve, overtime this piece of skin attached to my glans became slightly thicker but no pain, i could just about after much usage retract my foreskin behind my glans when erect but it took alot of weeks to loosen.

i was worrying like crazy about this frenuloplasty operation and couldnt sleep especially last night.

when i arrived i answered a few questions and got ready for surgery, once i arrived in surgery i was under local anesthetic which is better than general anesthetic as there is no side effects and you recover quicker. the urologist made 3 incisions on my frenulum which gave a sharp pain/prick which honestly wasnt pleasant but nowhere near as bad as i was anticipating. he then made 2 more incisions but hey presto i neva even knew because the area had already numbed, they began stitching the frenulum up without me knowing and all was over in 10 minutes....actually the sorest part of all was when the gel used to rub around the area got on my legs then the cloth stuck to my legs and i practically got waxed, that was the worst pain overall and we had a joke about it.

a frenuloplasty doesnt exactly lengthen the frenulum it ties it up so it blends into the foreskin enabling a fuller retraction and the fear of ripping and bleeding is gone. there will be some scar tissue which may be visilbe but not too much, i will let you guys know in time to come.

after the operation (9 hours ago) ive felt a few twinges here and there but have yet to need my painkillers which is surprising, you can go to the toilet as usual there is no pain.

you should be able to return to activities in 10 days and anything seuxal at a minimum of 3 weeks but it is at your own discretion what feels comfortable.

overall i am currently happy with the operation and would gladly answer any questions and will update in the weeks ahead as to my recovery as information is scarce on the net i would like to contribute and help others.

Thanks

Haha, up until I was on holiday I didn't realise I had a large foreskin (much to the amusement of my pals) and only then put 2 and 2 together, and realised that men in pornos weren't all circumcised!

My foreskin doesn't go back, but it's most due to the tight frenulum. I can pull it right back erect, with the frenulum going white with tension. I think I'm going to book myself in for a frenuloplasty. Also, it doesn't mean you have to stay a virgin. It doesn't affect you having sex.

does it damage any nerves
or is there risk of nerve damage
the scar tissue is what worries me..
it doesnt look weird afterward does it?
im glad im not alone in this.
how much is frenuloplasty?

Guest · Guest

Yes it does affect sex, if its a bad case then it will be sore to touch for 2-3 days afterwards, still have stitches in me now from the op, but I am very pleased with the result. It will almost look normal once the stitches are out.
I dont think there is risk of nerve damage, they are only snipping skin.

i had frenuloplasty done 5 weeks ago. i was put completley under and dont remember much of my stay at the hospital, but the stitches stayed on for 10 days and they fell on their own. I keep reading that it's such an easy procedure but in all honesty i bled for 2 days and for the entire time i had the stitches in it was quite painful! after 3 weeks i started having sex again and now five weeks later i have no problem retracting my foreskin. I DO HOWEVER still feel pain where they cut the frenulum, the scar isn't really visible but i could feel it through the foreskin when flaccid. I'm wondering how long it takes for the soreness to completely go away i'm hoping someone who has had this surgery reads this and can shed some light on their experience. DOES ANYONE KNOW? thanks.
