A too short frenulum prevents the foreskin from fully retracting from the glans, which can result in a painful erection and premature ejaculations. Frenuloplasty allows for getting rid of the problem. This is a minimally invasive procedure involving incision of the frenulum with CO2 laser.
Frenuloplasty is performed under topical anaesthesia and realized on an outpatient basis. The procedure takes about 30 minutes and the Patient can immediately return to daily activities. During the procedure, a transverse incision of the frenulum is made and then the wound edges are sutured in a suitable manner. Absorbable sutures are used to suture the frenulum, so they do not need to be removed. For a few days after the procedure, the Patient may experience some pain, which can be relieved with OTC painkillers. Special hygiene must be maintained until the wound has healed. Sexual abstinence should be observed for 4-5 weeks after the procedure.
Although often advertised as such, frenuloplasty is not a penile lengthening procedure. Proper incision of the frenulum and its suturing does not in any way increase the length of the penis. This can be achieved with other procedures, such as injections with hyaluronic acid or own fat. Fat is a filler which increases the girth and length of the penis. Additionally, this filler contains stem cells, which stimulate regenerative processes and strengthen tissue structures. While the use of platelet-rich plasma results in strengthening of regenerative processes and improvement of erection quality. The advantage of using autologous materials collected from the Patient is no risk of allergy or intolerance of the preparation.
Penile augmentation with hyaluronic acid allows for increasing the circumference of the penis by approx. 20-40% and its length by approx. 10%. Each procedure takes about several dozen minutes and requires only a few punctures. Penile augmentation is performed under topical anaesthesia and the effects of the procedure last for about one and a half to five years. After this time the procedure may be repeated.
The problem of a short frenulum may be congenital or acquired; in the latter case it develops as a result of recurrent inflammation or infection. The frenulum is a longitudinal fold of skin connecting the glans to the foreskin on the lower surface of the penis. If the frenulum is too short, sliding the foreskin into the genital groove is difficult or impossible. This results in problems during an erection. A characteristic symptom is painful erections. Then the excessively stretched frenulum pulls the highly innervated area of the penile glans, which is accompanied by pain. This symptom is referred to as dyspareunia. Pain may also occur during hygienic activities, when the foreskin must be pulled back. Resulting lack of proper hygiene may result in appearance of infections and inflammations. It intensifies discomfort associated with a too short frenulum.
Pain accompanying an erection is not the only symptom of a too short frenulum. Another symptom may be premature ejaculation. Associated symptoms may also include sleep problems, mental deterioration or a tendency to neurosis, which are not directly caused by the presence of a too short frenulum, but by the nervous tension accompanying the problem.
In case of a frenulum rupture, severe pain and bleeding occur. In addition, urination may be difficult: micturition is accompanied by pain and burning.
The procedure lengthens the frenulum. This helps to reduce problems with pain occurring during an erection. Problems with premature ejaculation may also be eliminated: if a too short frenulum was the cause of the problem. All this may improve the quality of sexual life and have a positive influence on the man’s psychological well-being. As a result of frenuloplasty, the foreskin may slide freely during everyday hygienic activities. It results in less frequent intimate infections. The procedure helps prevent the painful injury of frenulum rupture. In this way, the risk of sudden injury to the frenulum and its scarring is eliminated.
During the consultation, we discuss the expected effect and chose the best method for the Patient. Before the treatment an anaesthetic ointment is applied, which significantly reduces pain sensations – the injections feel similar to mosquito bites. During the procedure botulinum toxin is injected with a very thin needle into the appropriate part of the muscle.
The procedure does not require much preparation.
Do not consume alcohol, caffeine or drugs 24 hours before the procedure.
One week before the procedure, do not take common painkillers, as they thin the blood and may cause more bruising after insertions. Garlic and onion have a similar effect.
If you take NSAIDs, talk to your GP and ask if you can discontinue them two weeks before your procedure. If your GP refuses, don’t discontinue your medication on your own! The procedure can still be performed, but you must expect more bruising.
Recovery runs smoothly. The post-operative wound should be cared for as indicated by a physician. Slight soreness and swelling may occur. Intercourse can be resumed after about 4 weeks.
There are not many contraindications, but they must be taken into consideration. Below you will find the most important of them.
