Some men are born with a specific penile malformation - a short frenum of the prepuce. This ailment is usually due to heredity and is passed on from the parent to the son. Such a deviation significantly complicates sexual relations, but modern medical technologies make it easy to get rid of such a problem for any man.
What is the essence of the problem
Bridle is a skin fold that connects the foreskin with the head of the penis. It is necessary to return the foreskin back to the closed position after exposing the head. The length of the bridle is reflected in the position that the head takes when erection. In addition, it depends on the freedom of movement available to the foreskin.
When a man has a short bridle of foreskin, during sexual intercourse or when the head is simply exposed, he experiences a tightness of the bridle, accompanied by a painful syndrome, tears or cracks in the frenum. The insufficient length of the bridle is indicated by the inclination of the head of the penis forward when it is in a state of erection.
Warning! A shortened bridle can influence the duration of sexual intercourse, significantly shortening it and leading to premature ejaculation.
After frenulia, it is possible to solve the problem defect independently, when the required length of the frenulum is reached. But more often it is the other way around, the place of hysteromy is cicatrized, as a result of which the fold is shortened more strongly, which facilitates repeated tears during sexual intercourse. Gaps in the process of coitus can be complicated by severe bleeding, for the elimination of which urgent intervention by the surgeon is necessary.
Causes and forms of pathology
Usually the shortened bridle is hereditary, that is, it has an innate form. Usually such a deviation is detected only in the sexually mature period, when the teenager begins to experience an erection. But there is also an acquired form that arises under the influence of a number of factors. A short bridle of the foreskin can develop:
- As a complication of genitourinary infectious inflammatory pathologies such as urethritis or balanoposthitis, as well as against sexually transmitted infections like chlamydia, trichomoniasis, gonorrhea, etc.
- Against the background of trauma to the frenum of normal length, when the scarring of the tear leads to a shortening. Such injuries can be obtained with excessive coarse sexual contact, insufficiently lubricated vagina, with defloration, etc.
- With diabetes.
How is the pathology of
treated? The short frenum of the foreskin is corrected only by surgical intervention. Before the operation, the patient is assigned to pass a series of tests for syphilis, HIV, hepatitis, coagulability and a general blood test. Patients suffering from a similar problem undergo a small operation called frenulotomy. This procedure is quite simple, does not require specific training. The only requirement for a man is thorough hygiene of the genitals before surgery.
The patient is placed in the operating room, treated with a penis disinfectant and injected with local anesthesia. If the operation is performed by a child, then general anesthesia can be used. The essence of the operation is the transverse dissection of the bridle. After the procedure, a soft scar begins to form at the site of dissection after a few days, and the bridle itself is significantly lengthened. The postoperative wound is carefully treated, if necessary, a dressing is applied.
Under the guidance of an experienced surgeon, such an operation proceeds painlessly, does not take more than half an hour and proceeds without complications. Frenulotomy does not require rehabilitation, so the patient after the operation can return to the workplace. The procedure for frenulotomy can be performed with a scalpel or with special radio wave knives, which completely excludes the development of postoperative complications. During the operation, cuts made with such a knife do not bleed and are additionally sterilized by radio wave radiation.
The only postoperative procedure that the patient will have to undergo for several days is the regular processing of the dissection site with a drug prescribed by a doctor( solution or ointment).Approximately about a month, until it heals the site of dissection, the operated man is recommended not to allow sexual intercourse, and just an erection.
Adverse effects of a shortened frenum
A shortened bridle not only delivers painful sensations, but can also lead to some complications. Because of the short frenum, the penis head is not removed from the foreskin, which contributes to the accumulation of smegma under the foreskin. These clusters provoke all sorts of inflammatory processes.
Caution! In particularly neglected cases, the shortened bridle leads to partial and even complete erectile dysfunction.
Possible tearing of the bridle during sexual intercourse or masturbation can be accompanied by bleeding, and the infection can be infiltrated into the resulting wound. After healing of the tear, a painful scar forms in its place, which shortens the bridle even more. Therefore, the problem requires a binding decision.
