A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dr. James Lin answered

See urologist ...: Normal healthy frenulum of glans penis & foreskin will not tear at erection /coitus except there is chronic inflammation with long redundant foreskin. So, see urologist so to decide what can be the underlying reason of possible correction. Meanwhile, keep the area as clean and dry as possible.
