Suggest Treatment For Snapped Frenulum During Intercourse

I snapped my frenulum whilst having sex with my girlfriend on Halloween of all nights. There was a lot of blood everywhere. Two days later My frenulum is clearly not attached anymore but I feel fine and have had sex pain free and with no bleeding. Is that fine now or should I consult a doctor?

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.

Since the bleeding seems to have stopped, you do not need to consult a doctor. It may happen that a scar might form in the area, if this happens then there is shortening of frenulum and might be released by minor surgery . This cannot be known now and will be obvious only after one month.
