How to eliminate the gap in the frenulum of the penis?

The bridle of the penis is a narrow patch of connective tissue located at the bottom of the head( between it and the foreskin).The main function of this longitudinal fold is complete exposure of the glans penis due to the traction effect. There are at least two common pathologies of the bridle: its short length( short bridle) and rupture. The ruptures of this anatomical structure are a very common phenomenon. What do you need to know about the problem?

Causes of the rupture

The main and immediate cause of the rupture is the insufficient length or elasticity of the frenum.

Injuries occur as a result of mechanical action:

during an awkward or too violent sexual intercourse;
at the time of defloration( rupture of the hymen);

with too strong frictions;
if the woman's genitals are not sufficiently moisturized.

Thus, we are talking about a simultaneous combination of two factors: developmental disorders of the organ itself( the risk group also includes the holders of a short frenum) and the effect of a mechanical stimulus.

Symptoms of

Symptoms are very characteristic. The following manifestations are typical for the rupture:

Difficulties in committing an act of urination. When the urine passes, there is soreness, burning sensation.
Pain syndrome. It is noted at the time of urination, with an erection. By nature, aching, burning, pulling.
Because the bridle of the penis is directly fused to the head, it may be curved.
Hyperemia of tissues in the penis. It arises as a result of the development of the inflammatory process.
Swelling of the foreskin. When the bridle is injured, a large amount of intercellular fluid leaves the surrounding tissues. From the outside it looks like puffiness.
Complete impossibility of exposure to the head or significant difficulties( when the head is exposed only through significant pain).
Bleeding. Blood can be released due to traumatic injury to the foreskin. Since the bridle is weakly vascularized, it is a matter of minor bleeding.

General symptoms are possible if the inflammatory process or infection of the wound has begun: headache, dizziness, fever temperature rise( 38.1-39 degrees), lethargy, weakness.

The clinical picture, as a rule, is typical. With incomplete breaks, there may be no signs.

Diagnosis is not difficult. However, only urologists should treat it, as well as treatment. The diagnosis is made on the basis of visual examination and assessment of the condition of the foreskin.

Therapy for the fistula of the penis

First aid

First aid tactics are simple and do not require special medical knowledge:

It is necessary to take a piece of cotton wool and moisten it in hydrogen peroxide or plain water. Wadding should be applied to the wound, tightly pressed. In this position, hold for 10 minutes until the bleeding stops completely.
Now it is necessary again to treat the wound with an antiseptic drug( hydrogen peroxide), apply a bandage. It should not be tight, since blood circulation is possible.
The next step is to contact the urologist for a complete treatment.

If there is severe bleeding( which is very rare), it is recommended that ice be applied to the site of the lesion or an emergency ambulance is called.

Surgical treatment

When tearing( incomplete breaks) it is required to constantly treat the wound with an antiseptic, and also to avoid an erection, so as not to aggravate the situation. The rupture is treated only surgically, using the following methods:

Circumcision. The total method of getting rid of the problem. It assumes the complete removal of the foreskin( see Pros and cons of circumcision).

Frenulotomy with rupture of the bridle of the penis
V- Y plastic. Assumes cutting the foreskin in the form of the Latin letter V, the seam is superimposed in the form of the Latin letter Y( hence the name).To this method of therapy, surgeons resort relatively rarely, since after surgery there is a noticeable scar.
Frenulotomy. It is considered the most preferred method of plastic bridle. The essence of the operation is the formation of a transverse notch on the skin flap, which is then sutured transversely. After surgery, there are no large scars, but the result is almost the most palpable among all methods of surgical intervention.

The duration of the recovery period after an angina is 3-8 days. After the operation, rehabilitation lasts for about 4-7 days, after which a man can return to a normal sexual life.

Consequences of

The rupture of the bridle is threatening with complications, among which:

Creation of cicatricial phimosis. Any trauma in the genital area leads to a decrease in the elasticity of the prepuce. As a result, the inability to expose the glans penis - phimosis - develops.
Stricture, especially frequent, leads to an increase in the likelihood of a full rupture of the bridle.
Pain syndrome is a constant companion for tears and tears.
No normal erection.

To prevent these complications, it is necessary to undergo surgical treatment in a timely manner.

The rupture of the frenum seriously affects the male sexual function. In severe cases, it leads to a complete inability to perform sexual intercourse. To eliminate the problem and avoid adverse health consequences, it is necessary to consult a urologist or andrologist. At the end of treatment, the man returns to the form again.
