Suggest A Remedy For A Tear On The Frenulum

So yesterday I ripped my frenulum there was a lot of blood. The bleeding had stopped completely but the tear still hurts. Let me mention that it was torn to the point where there is only a tiny piece left intact. Well I have been cleaning with peroxide to make sure there is no infection. What I wanted to know even if there is only a small piece left will the tear still reattach and should I really be cleaning with peroxide or is it a bad thing. P.s. I am not able to pull back foreskin over my head without pain.

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 for 5 days.

Since the bleeding seems to have stopped, you do not need surgical suturing. 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.

Please wear loose inner clothes and maintain genital hygiene. Avoid masturbation or sex for two weeks.
