 What is Frenulum Breve of the Penis?<\/h2>\n

\"FrenulumFrenulum breve means ‘short frenulum”<\/strong>. The frenulum is the piece of skin that connects the foreskin to the glans penis (head of the penis).  When the skin is too tight<\/strong>, men may experience pain during sex or with erections<\/a><\/strong>.  The frenulum may also tear and bleed during sex.  Typically, the area underneath the penis, just below the head, is ‘tight’<\/strong> and may rip during sex.<\/p>\n

What is the Treatment for a short frenulum of the Penis?<\/h2>\n

Treatment for frenulum breve involves a short office-based procedure, called frenuloplasty<\/strong><\/a>, performed under local anesthesia<\/a><\/strong> (you do not go to sleep).  The procedure takes less than 30 minutes. The success rate of penile frenuloplasty is >95%.<\/p>\n

Frenulectomy<\/span> is a similar procedure to frenuloplasty,<\/span> which involves cutting<\/strong> the frenulum.  Frenulectomy leaves the residual ‘frenular ears” or skin tags hanging, resulting in less than satisfying cosmetic appearance. Frenuloplasty of the penis involves the removal<\/strong> of the frenulum breve.   At New York Urology Specialists, we perform frenuloplasty of the penis<\/strong> for our patients to achieve optimal cosmetic appearance and function.<\/p>\n

Penile frenuloplasty<\/a><\/strong> or frenulectomy is a minimally invasive procedure that can cure the frenulum breve.  Circumcision can be performed along with penile frenulectomy if desired.<\/p>\n

For patients without treatment, the problem often recurs with occasional pain and tears during sex.<\/p>\n

Did you know?<\/strong>  <\/span>Dr. Shteynshlyuger<\/strong><\/a> has performed over 1,000 penile surgeries,<\/strong> including circumcisions, circumcision revisions, frenuloplasty<\/strong>, penile implants, correction of Peyronie’s disease, and congenital penile curvature.<\/span>  He performs 150-200 penile surgeries a year.<\/p>\n

Recovery after Frenuloplasty<\/h2>\n

When the procedure is performed at New York Urology Specialists, we use our experience to make your recovery smooth and uneventful.  Most men are able to return to work<\/strong> and regular activities the next day after the procedure. Most men have no or minimal pain, and most do not require pain medications.<\/p>\n

Men are advised not to engage in sex or masturbation for 3-4 weeks after the procedure. Men are advised not to go to the beach, and no swimming is allowed during the first 2 weeks.   Stitches typically fall off on their own<\/strong> – baths after 1 week may help to dissolve the stitches. No biking is allowed for 2 weeks, but men may go to the GYM and engage in activities that do not involve the penis\/scrotum.<\/p>\n
