Can penile frenuloplasty be performed for individuals with a short or tight frenulum?

Yes, penile frenuloplasty is commonly performed to address issues related to a short or tight frenulum of the penis. This condition, known as “frenulum breve,” can cause discomfort, pain, or limitations in the mobility of the foreskin or the glans during sexual activity. Penile frenuloplasty is specifically designed to release or lengthen the frenulum, alleviating these issues and improving sexual function and comfort.

Here’s how the procedure works:

1. Release of the Frenulum: During penile frenuloplasty, the surgeon makes a small incision in the frenulum and carefully releases or lengthens it. This allows for greater mobility of the foreskin or the glans, reducing tension and discomfort during erection and sexual activity.
2. Improved Comfort: The primary goal of the surgery is to improve comfort and function. By addressing the issues associated with a short or tight frenulum, individuals typically experience relief from pain, discomfort, or limitations in sexual activity.
3. Enhanced Sexual Function: With a properly functioning frenulum, individuals may find it easier to achieve and maintain an erection, experience improved sexual performance, and have greater sexual satisfaction.
