Penile Frenulectomy at Our Auckland Clinic
At Circumcision Doc Clinic, we offer penile frenulectomy, a surgical procedure designed to alleviate discomfort with the frenulum of the penis.
Whether you’re experiencing discomfort, pain during sexual activity, or tightness that restricts movement, our expert team is here to provide safe and effective solutions.
What is Penile Frenulectomy?
Penile frenulectomy is a surgical procedure designed to alleviate discomfort caused by a tight or short band of tissue connecting the glans to the shaft of the penis, known as the frenulum. This condition, called frenulum breve, can cause pain, bleeding, and restricted movement during sexual activity or erections. Whether circumcised or uncircumcised, men with a tight frenulum can benefit from this procedure.
Benefits of Penile Frenulectomy
A penile frenulectomy removes the restrictive tissue, increasing penile skin range of motion and improving sexual enjoyment. The procedure is minimally invasive, performed under long-acting local anesthesia, and offers rapid relief with a brief recovery period.
Resolving Penis Discomfort
The procedure eliminates tension in the frenulum, alleviating pain and preventing micro-trauma. Our doctor will review the expected outcomes during a consultation to ensure the best results for your needs.
Tight Frenulum and Associated Issues
What is Frenulum Breve?
The frenulum is the tissue band underneath the penis, often referred to as the “banjo string.” When it’s tight or short, tension during erections can lead to pain, tearing, and bleeding during sexual activity.
Impact on Sexual Health
A tight frenulum may contribute to premature ejaculation by increasing penile tension. Lengthening or removing the frenulum can reduce sensitivity, helping to delay ejaculation and improve sexual experiences.
Our Approach at Circumcision Doc
Our clinic employs advanced techniques tailored to individual anatomy to ensure optimal results. The procedure is performed using either a scalpel or bipolar diathermy, with dissolvable stitches applied as needed. Recovery typically takes a few weeks, and procedures are carried out under long-lasting local anesthetic for patient comfort.
Before and After the Procedure
Before the Procedure:
- Avoid aspirin and anti-inflammatories for one week prior.
- Refrain from alcohol the day before.
- Eat a normal meal to prevent lightheadedness.
- Take two extra-strength acetaminophen tablets before leaving home.
- Apply numbing cream one hour before your appointment.
After the Procedure:
- Use acetaminophen or ibuprofen as needed for mild pain.
- Expect slight bleeding for a few days, which is normal.
- Apply antibiotic ointment (Polysporin) for one week.
- Avoid lifting or strenuous activity for 2-3 days.
- Refrain from sexual activity for 5-6 weeks.
For your safety, we recommend arranging transportation home or staying at the clinic for an additional 30 minutes post-procedure if necessary.
