Frenulectomy
Frenulectomy is a minor surgical procedure designed to relieve discomfort caused by a tight or restrictive frenulum. This condition, known as frenulum breve, can cause pain, tearing, or restricted movement during intimacy or daily activities. At Menscape Clinic, we provide a safe, quick, and effective solution, helping you regain confidence and comfort.
What is Frenulectomy?
A frenulectomy involves the surgical removal or release of the frenulum – the small fold of tissue connecting the underside of the penis to the foreskin. When the frenulum is too short or tight, it can cause pain during erections or intercourse, leading to anxiety and discomfort. This procedure effectively resolves these issues, enhancing mobility and comfort.
What is Frenulotomy ?
Frenulotomy is a minor surgical procedure that involves making an incision (cut) in a frenulum—a small fold of tissue that restricts movement. This procedure is typically performed to relieve tension and improve mobility in the affected area. Unlike a frenulectomy, which removes the frenulum entirely, a frenulotomy only involves a partial cut to loosen it.
Common Types of Frenulotomy
Lingual Frenulotomy (Tongue-Tie Release)
- Performed when the lingual frenulum (a band of tissue under the tongue) is too tight, a condition known as ankyloglossia (tongue-tie).
- Commonly done in infants to improve breastfeeding, speech, and tongue mobility.
- The procedure is quick, often done with scissors or a laser, and usually requires little to no anesthesia.
Penile Frenulotomy
- Done when the penile frenulum (a band of tissue on the underside of the penis, connecting the foreskin to the glans) is too short or tight, causing discomfort or pain during erections.
- The cut helps reduce tension and improves comfort.
- Performed under local anesthesia with minimal recovery time.
