Can penile frenuloplasty improve sexual function?

Yes, penile frenuloplasty can improve sexual function for individuals who experience issues related to a tight or short frenulum. Here’s how the procedure can contribute to enhanced sexual function:

1. Alleviating Discomfort: For individuals with a tight or short frenulum (frenulum breve), sexual activity can be uncomfortable or even painful. Frenuloplasty can address this issue by lengthening or releasing the frenulum, reducing tension during sexual activity, and eliminating discomfort or pain.
2. Enhancing Mobility: A restrictive frenulum can limit the movement of the foreskin or the glans during sexual activity. Frenuloplasty increases the mobility of these structures, allowing for more natural and comfortable movement during intercourse or masturbation.
3. Improving Satisfaction: Some individuals with frenulum-related issues may find it challenging to maintain an erection or experience premature ejaculation due to discomfort or anxiety. By resolving these issues, frenuloplasty can contribute to improved sexual satisfaction and overall sexual function.
4. Reducing Risk of Frenulum Tears: A tight or short frenulum is prone to tearing during sexual activity, leading to pain and potential interruptions in sexual function. Frenuloplasty reduces the risk of such tears, allowing for a more comfortable and uninterrupted sexual experience.
