Question 1

i have a small white bump/sore on the frenulum of my tounge its  kinda painful also.

Accepted Answer

Multiple symptoms : I would suggest you get examined as hard to answer without more information

Question 2

how do i treat canker sore on lingual frenulum?

Accepted Answer

Tincture of Time: It will be gone in a few days. If it lasts more than 14 days from onset, see your Dentist immediately. OTC topicals may make it feel better temporarily. Ask your Pharmacist for advice. Some patients have been successfully treated with lasers, talk to your Dentist about this.

Question 3

it looks like i have a canker sore on my frenulum (or at least i think that's what it's called), the strip right under my tongue. is this possible?

Accepted Answer

Yes: It's possible and very painful.  Canker sores go away within 7-10 days.  There are no very effective treatments that I've come across (and I've tried them all on myself and my patients!).  It's worth trying anbesol or other treatments to see if they might help you but don't be surprised if they don't.  The sores will go away on their own.

Question 4

is it normal to get a canker sore on my tongue frenulum? how would i know if it's something more?

Accepted Answer

Time: If the problem persists for more than 10 days or gets worse, see your doctor or dentist about it.  Canker sores usually resolve in 10 days or less.

Question 5

i had unprotected vaginal sex with a female the next morning noticed a sore on my penis frenulum that also was leaking then felt flu symptoms ?

Accepted Answer

STD is possible...: ...for any new genital sore and very likely for urethral discharge (if that's what you mean by "leaking"). But no STD can cause symptoms so soon after exposure; if an STD is the cause (herpes, syphilis, gonorrhea, chlamydia, nongonococcal urethritis), you had it before this exposure. However, you exposed her, so you both need to be examined and tested ASAP, as do any other recent sex partners.

Question 6

my tongue frenulum is red and sore, what are some possible causes?

Accepted Answer

Local irritation?: It might just be irritated from some local irritation.  However, without being able to see it, we can't be sure.  Giving you a list of possibilities won't really help you in any meaningful way.  Either wait it out for a few days and see if it goes away, or see a dentist to see if it is anything more serious than that.

Question 7

i have pain under my tongue the right side of the frenulum not the tongue itself but part underneath. it regularly pains if i press it and feels sore?

Accepted Answer

See Dentist: See your dentist or an oral surgeon. It could possibly be a sublingual or submandibular infection, blockage of salivary gland/glands or a mucocele.

Question 8

my frenulum tore during sex a few months ago and is still quite sore. i went to a urologist who recommended a circumcision. is that too much for this?

Accepted Answer

Torn frenulum: If there is a flap of skin, perhaps just that can be removed; however, the urologist had the advantage of seeing the damage; so his recommendation may be the one to follow. Other option is to get second opinion from another urologist.

Question 9

hi.last year i was a little rough when having sex.  and i thing i've injured my foreskin and frenulum.  it's been a year and still i'm sore. any help?

Accepted Answer

Balanitis: It may be that your foreskin is just too tight; but it could also be balanitis, a skin condition affecting the head of the penis. This is not necessarily a sexually transmitted disease. It may be due to a fungal, bacterial, or yeast infection.Wash the area right after sexual activity with a mild soap and apply a moisturizing cream. If the problem persists, see your doctor.

Question 10

the frenulum of my tongue is white (almost looks like a white rope) and sore when i stretch it. my gums have also been sore recently. what could it be?

Accepted Answer

Sore Gums and Frenum: Good afternoon;
    In many instances the frenulum of a person's tongue has a whitish look. Could have suffered some tongue trama, oral sexual activities, fibrous hyperplasia or even an aphthous stomatitis(cold sore).
  Sore gums may have a variety of causes; poor oral hygiene, stress, improper home care technique  and even early periodontal disease. Consider contacting a dentist or periodontist.
