Patient's question:
On February 11th, I had surgery, and when I returned home, I found that the frenulum had also been removed. Is there any harm in not having a frenulum? I would like to ask if there are side effects of frenulum removal after a circumcision?Doctor's answer:
The main function of the frenulum is to fully take responsibility for the somatic sensation and the most important branch of the pudendal nerve—the dorsal penile nerve—that is arranged along the back of the penis, primarily on the skin of the glans, with especially small branches specifically arranged on the frenulum, making the frenulum highly sensitive to external stimuli. The removal of the frenulum also has certain benefits: preventing sexual intercourse pain, preventing sexual dysfunction, preventing transmission caused by frenulum tearing, and if it does not affect normal life, it should not cause much harm. In fact, suffering from urological diseases is not, and patients should believe that they can overcome the illness. As long as symptoms are detected in time and treated accordingly, the chances of controlling the condition and recovering are very high.
