This condition refers to a short or tight penile frenulum, which can lead to discomfort or pain during sexual activity.
In some cases, the frenulum may tear due to excessive tension during sexual intercourse or other activities, resulting in pain, bleeding, and potential scarring.
While not directly related to the frenulum, phimosis (tightening of the foreskin) can sometimes be exacerbated by a tight frenulum. Frenuloplasty may be recommended as part of the treatment for severe cases of phimosis.
