Suggest Remedy For Frenulum Tear
I think my husband tore his frenulum. We stopped having sex for few weeks to let it heal and it seemed better. But then when we resumed intercourse it was still painful ,bled a little and became swollen. Not sure what to do. Or if it will heal on its own

Hi,
Thanks for writing in.
The tear in your penis may get better without treatment. Avoid sexual activity until the tear has healed. Once it has healed, you can try using a lubricant during sex to prevent the problem from happening again.
It is not a serious issue and might take 2 weeks to heal. Right now you are required to keep your genital clean and dry. Please wash with warm water twice a day to avoid any infection. You may apply neosporin ointment over the torn frenulum. Please take oral pain killers
