Question 1

i tore my penis frenulum tear its just a small incision but it pains during sex due to friction.what can helps this? will it heal on its own how long

Accepted Answer

Exam: In most cases, the frenulum tear will get better without treatment &amp; you should avoid sexual activity until the tear has healed. Once it has healed you can try to use a lubricant during sex to prevent it from happening again. If your frenulum keeps getting torn you may need an operation to lengthen it which is called a frenuloplasty. I suggest a medical exam to check on your condition. Good luck!

Question 2

what is commonly used to heal slight tear on my frenulum?

Accepted Answer

Great blood supply: You did not say if it involved your tongue or penis.  The good news is that both areas have fantastic blood supply and that means rapid healing.  If the tongue, then no further treatment is needed.  If the penis, you should minimize further trauma by avoiding those activities that may cause further injury such as sex or masturbation.  This will heal very quickly if you avoid further injury.

Question 3

do frenulum tears heal on their own? and what should i do to heal it?

Accepted Answer

: Depending on the severity of tear, it may take 7-10 days to heal. To facilitate proper healing: wash, rinse and bandage the tear right away, wear loose, comfortable clothes, abstain from sexual activity involving penis including masturbation, avoid vigorous activity that can bump or scrapes the penis. Frenuloplasty is seldom needed in first tear. Hope it helps.

Accepted Answer

Here are some ...: The specifics in this Q is unclear to offer a specific answer. Generally speaking, a uncomplicated fresh scratch or laceration will heal in 5-10 days, but if such wound is inside the chronically inflamed foreskin, the course of healing will be protractable and lengthy of uncertain period. To decide the fate of such wound, a direct inspection on the penis is needed. So, seek professional attention.
