I am 40 yr old married for last 11 years. I have suddenly found that frennulum of my penis is torn while making love. It bleed and pained like hell. Now whenever I have sex, this ridge is torn and it bleeds. Even after abstaining from sex for a long time like 15days or 20days, it happened again. What to do?

Brief Answer:
Repeated penile Frenular bleeding due to its Shortening and fibrosis

Detailed Answer:
Provisional Diagnosis-Repeated penile Frenular bleeding due to its Shortening and fibrosis

Hi,Dear thanks for the query to HCM virtual clinic.
I studied your query in full details updated from you.
I understood your health concerns.
I reviewed your data and In my opinion the repeated bleeding is due to the weak scar of the delicate prepucial penile frenulum, which gives way repeatedly and causes bleeding.
As frenulum of the prepuce of the penis is very sensitive structure,this needs immediate surgical correction.
I would advise you to consult ER Surgeon on this who would repair the penile frenulum for correcting its shortening due to fibrosis.
If you could send the picture of it,I can help you out more.
Hope this would help you out for the long run.
Current Treatment Plan-
Consult ER Surgeon who would treat it by ani-inflammatory and antibiotics.
After the healing of the wound in next 7 days time plan for the surgical correction of the shortened and fibrosed prepucial frenulum.
Abstain from sex till you correct your frenular shortening from Surgeon on priority.
Plan the surgical correction at the earliest.
Hope this would resolve your query.
Welcome for any further query in this regard to ME.I would love to help you out.
Awaiting for any further query.
Wish you fast recovery from this intriguing health problem.
Have a Good Day.

Thanks a lot Doctor. I have attached the pic of my penis showing the point from where it tears. I just wanted to know what might have caused this to happen after more than 10 years of active sex life? Is the surgery only option? Please also tell me why you want me to go to ER(emergency Room) surgeon? is the matter so urgent? I am living quite normal life as I am abstaining from any sexual activity for now. Do i need to go to Urologist too?
thanks
doctor

Brief Answer:
Penile-Frenular Fibrosis-Frenulum breve with repeated frenular bleeding

Detailed Answer:
Hi,Dear,Sorry for the late reply.Was in one critical case.
Thanks for your updates and for the photograph.
The photograph has confirmed many facts for the cause of the repeated bleeding in your case.
The repeated frenular tears which you had in the past,have lead to the fibrosis in the frenular tissue leading to Frenulum breve or Short Frenulum,which is confirmed from the photograph,where in a white tissue over a pin head size area, and confirms that the fibrosis is restricted to very localised and very small area.
So as thought in my last reply, the frenular tissue needs to be released by plastic reparative surgery,if you are really concerned of the repeated bleeding and want to prevent any further attacks.
Decision for surgery would depend on your need and feel of discomfort caused from the Short Frenulum.
As you feel that you have normal sex life,its YOU who has to take a call and plan for the Repair of the Short Frenulum.
This advise for corrective surgery -is a preventive suggestion as the fibrosis is still limited to pinhead size area at this stage.And the results would be very good.
I would leave it to your need for it.
I think this reply would help you to plan treatment for the intriguing /perplexing and sensitive problem you have.
Welcome for any further query in this regard to ME and to HCM.
I would advise to consult Urologic Surgeon,who would decide on the plastic repair(Frenuloplasty) or even excision of the frenulum (Frenulectomy) to satisfy your needs.
Await for your further query if any, before I close this discussion.
Have a Good day.
