About Frenuloplasty

Frenuloplasty is a specialized urological surgical procedure performed by an andrologist to correct a condition known as frenulum breve, where the small band of tissue connecting the foreskin to the glans penis is abnormally short and tight. This condition can cause pain, tearing, and bleeding during sexual activity or erection, and may contribute to psychological distress or sexual dysfunction. The procedure involves carefully lengthening or releasing this tight frenulum, often under local anesthesia. It is a relatively minor outpatient surgery that aims to restore normal, pain-free function and improve sexual health and comfort. Frenuloplasty is a highly effective solution for a common male genital issue, leading to significant improvements in quality of life.

PATIENT REVIEW

Emma Malhotra, a 28-year-old marketing executive,...

Emma Malhotra, a 28-year-old marketing executive, had been in a stable relationship for three years. She had always experienced discomfort and occasional tearing during intercourse, which she initially attributed to stress or lack of lubrication. The pain became more consistent, leading to anxiety and avoidance of intimacy, which strained her relationship. During a routine gynecological check-up, she hesitantly mentioned the issue. Her gynecologist identified a tight and short vaginal frenulum (posterior fourchette) and referred her to an andrologist for a specialist opinion. The andrologist confirmed the diagnosis of a restrictive vaginal frenulum, explaining how it was causing the micro-tears and pain. He recommended a frenuloplasty to release the tight tissue. Emma was nervous but hopeful. The procedure was performed under local anesthesia as a day case. The immediate post-operative period involved mild soreness and strict hygiene protocols. After a four-week healing period, during which she followed all aftercare instructions diligently, Emma experienced a dramatic reduction in pain. The emotional burden lifted; she felt a renewed sense of confidence and intimacy with her partner, moving from anxiety and frustration to relief and reconnection.
