I have undergone a penile frenectomy, but the skin under the frenulum is still tight. when erected, foreskin barely retracts over the glans. options?

Circumcision: If there is no reason not to have one, a circumcision would certainly help, and the frenum could be retreated at the same time. All depends on your goal of treatment. Good Luck.

See your urologist: Minor surgical correction, the tight frenulum can be released with a simple surgical incision under local anaesthesia by your urologist.

Foreskin tore during sex and when it healed it was to tight to pull back. It tore again when I did get it to retracted past my penile head. Do I need to see a doctor for it to heal proper without the tightness or will it repair itself back with time?
When I try to retract my foreskin all the way it stings and pulls the frenulum really tight and curves my penis. Is this normal and healthy?
