Suggest Remedies For Frenulum Breve
Hi, I think i might be having the problem called frenulum breve. I can retract my skin when my penis is flaccid but not while its erect as it is then painful and i fear i might cut it. I would surely not want to go for a circumcision. Would stretching and steroid creams help? Is there any other way i can treat this myself? By the way I am 19. Thanks

Hello,
Unfortunately, there is no way to treat frenulum breve with non-surgical methods. Steroid creams will not help to treat it. On the other hand, you do not need to be circumcised to have it treated. A simple procedure called frenuloplasty can be done to cut the short frenulum. This is easily done in the office of the doctor and is easier tolerated than circumcision.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
