Hi! I heard that frenulum could tear! What causes this ? Thx

Hello there! As you probably know frenulum is a strip of skin which attaches the foreskin to the shaft of the penis on the undersurface of the glans. Sometimes it can be short or lets better say tight causing discomfort and could tear during sexual intercourse. This can lead to bleeding which can be a bit alarming! The tear usually heals naturally and you just need to keep it clean. An antibiotic cream may be necessary. if the tear is incomplete and the frenulum remains tight causing discomfort during sex, a surgical procedure called frenuloplasty might be indicated. During this operation, the surgeon essentially lengthens the frenulum to allow greater freedom of movement. This eliminates the discomfort during intercourse and reduces the chance of any further tears.
