Short bridle

When the frenulum is too short it restricts the movement of the foreskin, which causes discomfort during sexual activity.

Understanding the short frenulum: beyond phimosis

If the penis is erect and the frenulum is too short it causes the head of the penis-glans to deviate downwards. This causes pain, difficulty in penetration and can even cause tears and bleeding. These tears when healing can shorten the frenulum more and aggravate the situation. It is common to confuse the short frenulum with the phimosis, but they are different conditions. A simple examination allows you to identify the specific condition and offer appropriate solutions.

Complications

Short frenulum can lead to a number of additional complications and problems, including:

1. Pain during sexual activity: Short frenulum can cause discomfort or pain during sexual intercourse, which can affect the patient's intimacy and quality of life.
2. Difficulty in penetration: Due to the restriction caused by the short frenulum, penetration may be difficult or even impossible in some cases, which can affect the person's sex life and intimate relationships.
3. Increased risk of injury: A short frenulum can increase the risk of tears or trauma during sexual activity, which can result in pain, bleeding, and even requiring medical attention.
4. Hygiene problems: In some cases, a short frenulum can make it difficult to properly clean the genital area, which can increase the risk of infection or irritation.
5. Psychological impact: Sexual difficulties and complications associated with short frenulum can have a negative impact on the individual's self-esteem, confidence and psychological well-being.

Frenuloplasty: short frenulum laser operation

He Dr. Ricardo Hoogstra performs this procedure under local anesthesia, which is very well tolerated by the patient. After the anesthesia is applied, a minimal incision of the frenulum is made with a Carbon Dioxide Laser. Next, 3 resorbable points are given which fall off on their own after 14 days. The procedure takes 10 minutes. Once completed, the patient continues his normal life. The procedure is not painful, nor is the recovery. It is recommended not to have sex for 20 days. After this the patient will have a normal life and sexuality.

Advantages of Laser Frenuloplasty: Optimizing the Patient Experience

The use of carbon dioxide laser in frenuloplasty offers numerous advantages for both the patient and the recovery process. These are some of the main ones:

1. Surgical Precision: The laser allows the surgeon to make precise and controlled incisions, minimizing the risk of collateral damage to surrounding tissues.
2. Minimal Invasion: The laser technique reduces the need for large incisions, which leads to less blood loss and faster healing time.
3. Less Pain and Discomfort: Local anesthesia and laser precision help reduce discomfort during and after the procedure, improving the patient experience.
4. Fast recovery: Thanks to minimal invasion and accelerated healing process, patients can return to their daily activities in a short time, minimizing the impact on their routine.
5. Aesthetic Results: The use of laser allows for more satisfactory aesthetic results, with minimal scars and a natural appearance of the corrected frenulum.
