How Long Will It Take To Heal The Torn Frenulum?
My husband torn his frenulum about 3weeks ago...it's a very tiny tear right under the head of his penis...he is uncircumcised...we have abstained from sex but it still hasn't healed...we tried to have sex last night and it started to bleed a little and hurt so we stopped...how long will this take to heal?

Hi
Greetings.
Frenulum is the most sensitive part of Penis and it has an arterial supply which is the one bleeding during intercourse.
Any friction or even the erection can disturbe the normal healing and can bleed. But it depends up on the severity of the tear.
So if there is bleeding even after 3 weeks I suggest you to consult a surgeon who will help you with either antimicrobial ointments or if a big tear will suture or use cautery to coagulate.
That will speed up the healing.
Hope my answer helps you. Regards
