tight frenum

Written by burningbridges at 23 Apr 2004 11:32:28:

Hi! I am 21 years of age and i have a problem with foreskin retraction.I have a tight skin bridge that connects the glans to the foreskin (is it called the frenum?).5 years ago i visited a urologist and he told me that i had a tight something (frenum i guess...i didn't catch it properly lol).When my penis is flaccid, i can only retract my foreskin halfway down the shaft.I just can't go beyond that because the skin bridge becomes very tight.The urologist told me that i would have problems during intercourse and masturbation.I have been masturbating regularly for many years now and i don't experience pain during erection or ejaculation.But yes, i can't retract my foreskin when my penis is erect (just a little beyond the head ..2 cms max).Will i have any pain during actual intercourse? I have been assuming that there won't be much pain with a condom worn as i don't find masturbation painful.How can the problem with the tight skin bridge be solved? I cannot venture beyond the halfway point when it comes
to cleaning.Is that safe when it comes to hygiene? I don't have much time for medical intervention and won't have some time for 5 years now.Is that ok? Sex isn't imminent as well.
