Suggest Treatment For The Bleeding From Frenulum
I just tore my frenulum. The cut won't stop bleeding. I have now put neosporin on the cut and an ice pack to hopefully stop the bleeding. I don't have medical insurance. I have torn my frenulum before, but not with this much blood loss. Should I go to the hospital still?

Hello and welcome to HCM.
As an Urologist, let me advise you to report at once to the casualty of nearest hospital. The penis has a very rich blood supply, hence , bleeding will be excessive. Apply pressure over the area, with a clean cloth, to stop bleeding.
Depending on the severity of the injury, stitches or pressure dressing, will be done.
Hope your doubt is cleared. If you've any other doubt, you're welcome to contact me by name. Wish you a speedy recovery.
