What You Need to Know about Treatment of Penile Skin Bridges
What are Penile Skin Bridges?
Penile skin bridges or penile skin adhesions occur in men and boys after penile surgery, most commonly after neonatal circumcision.
Penile skin bridges occur as a result of penile skin attaching to the glans of the penis or between two different points, creating a raised skin tag on the penis.
What are Penile Adhesions?
Penile adhesions occur when the skin of the penis attaches to the glans penis (head of the penis) above the corona of the penis (normally, penile skin attaches to the penis below the corona). Penile adhesions could be a result of poor hygiene, inflammation, infection, phimosis, or balanitis xerotica obliterans (BXO).
What are the Symptoms of Skin Bridges or Skin Tags on the Penis?
Usually, penile skin bridges do not cause symptoms, but sometimes they can cause discomfort during erections.
What is the Treatment of Penile Skin Bridges?
Penile skin bridges can be removed. This is a relatively simple procedure that can be performed in our office. There are no creams that will make penile skin bridges to go away.
Removal of Penile Skin Bridges at New York Urology Specialists
Penile skin bridges can be removed in the office setting under local anesthesia. At New York Urology Specialists, >90% of our patients choose to have penile skin bridge removal to be performed in the office under local anesthesia. The procedure usually takes less than 30 minutes, and the patient can return to usual activities the same day. No sexual activity is allowed for 2-3 weeks after the procedure to allow complete healing to occur.
Our patients are highly satisfied with the results of penile skin bridge removal in terms of aesthetic appearance and functional outcomes after the procedure.
Cost of Penile Skin Bridge Removal without Insurance
At New York Urology Specialists, we offer flat-fee ‘all-cost-included’ Penile Skin Bridge Removal. The procedure is performed in our office under local anesthesia. Men from other states can save thousands of dollars over local hospital fees by coming to New York Urology Specialists for treatment.
The current fees are as follows:
- $285 for the initial consultation
- $850 for penile skin bridge removal
Insurance Coverage of Penile Skin Bridges
Many insurances may not cover the cost of penile skin bridge removal, as it may be considered an aesthetic procedure and not medically necessary. When medically indicated, insurance may cover the cost of treatment.
