FRENULUM TREATMENT

Frenulum Breve? Please Help
>Ok. This is the problem. Ever since I was I child I relised that
my foreskin didn't retract fully when erect (no problem when soft),
but I thought it was normal. Masterbation was no problem, but when
I become sexually active I noticed that something was wrong. I can
now retract it when erect so that it is just no longer covering the
head , but it is still painfull. I also noticed that my frenulum was
very tight and was being pulled by the foreskin. My GP said I should
stretch it in the bath, but I was the last patient on a Sunday and
it didn't really seem like he gave a damn. After being with my girlfriend
one day I noticed a tiny rip on my frenulum, so I believe I have frenulum
breve. When soft, and I retract my foreskin fully (ie. not just past
the head, but fully stretching the skin out), it pulls the head of
my penis so that it is almost at a 90 degree angle... Is Frenulum Breve
my problem? Does anyone else know what I mean? Do I need an operation?
Please help...

You certainly described what I had! it was a very simple operation
in the Urologists office- deadened the area underneath and trimmed
the frenulum away from the underside of the glans or head. absolutely
changed everything! has been wonderful- can retract fully even when
erect and it doesn't bunch up or form a tight ring behind the head
when erect- of course some continued stretching is necessary- again
-- yes it sure sounds like frenulum breve -

What is the operation like?
>Hey Dean (or anyone else who has had this),
> I was just wondering what the operation to correct frenulum breve
is like. Is it painfull afterwards? Is it weird being under only local
anesthetic? How long until it was fully funtioning again? Were there
any signs that you had an operation? (ie. scars, etc.) Thanks...

Ken--
Really this barely "qualifies" as an operation!! the local anaesthetic-
is put in with a very tiny thin needle after some 'numbing cream' is
put on so you really don't feel it- In my case- it was trimmed away
from the glans so that when it healed- there is no sign it was ever
connected there as I can not see a scar and I suspect there were few
nerves that went into the underside of the glans at that connection
because I don't think I lost any of the feeling in the frenulum- it
merely retreated into the inner foreskin and forms a little bit of
a ridge there now. On healing- everyone heals at different speeds and
I drove 500 miles in sub-zero weather and was in and out of the car
because I had a horse trailer and this was on the same day mine was
done. I took about three weeks before it was completely healed even
tho it was 'usable' in about a week!
You may get another bonus-- as I did with an extra bit of length! Hope
this is helpful-
dean
