Patient's question:
I used to pay attention to my girlfriend during sex, and I tied a belt and it bled a little, but I didn't care. For a long time, the belt didn't come together by itself (no scab). Now it's been several years, but the belt still hasn't come together. I see almost no flesh left at the broken place. What should I do about the broken frenulum?Doctor's answer:
The preputial frenulum is located inside the foreskin at the lower ventral part of the glans penis, connecting to the inferior part of the urethral meatus of the glans through the corona. It has strong bending force and can be significantly elongated during penile erection, while it is noticeably extended when the penis is flaccid. Vigorous sexual intercourse or overly rough sexual movements can cause the frenulum to tear or completely detach. The frenulum is richly innervated and vascularized, playing a role in lifting and enhancing pleasure during sexual activity. With minor wounds, debridement is usually sufficient for complete recovery. However, for larger wounds, debridement treatment may be necessary. In addition to active medical treatment, patients with urological conditions should also maintain a proper diet in daily life to digest nutrients well.
