Frenuloplasty: Treatment of a short frenulum
At Andrología Mallorca, Dr Bonet and Dr Parejo will help you determine whether your condition is phimosis or a short frenulum, and recommend whether surgery is necessary.
What is the frenulum and how can you know it is short?
The frenulum is a V-shaped band of skin located under the glans that connects it to the foreskin.
When this band is too short, it is called a short frenulum, which can cause discomfort during sexual intercourse and, in some cases, even lead to heavy bleeding if it breaks.
Given the potentially alarming nature of this situation, it is advisable to address the problem before complications arise.
How can identify if it is a short frenulum or phimosis?
The best way to determine this is to consult a Urology and Andrology specialist, who will perform a physical examination to make an accurate diagnosis. In addition, surgery will be recommended if necessary.
¿What does frenuloplasty involve?
The definitive solution for a short frenulum is a surgical procedure known as frenuloplasty, which we perform at Andrología Mallorca. This simple procedure involves removing the frenulum using a scalpel or CO2 laser. Sometimes, stitches are necessary to ensure optimal aesthetic results.
Recovery is quick, with complete healing occurring 3-4 weeks after the procedure.
