>Hi..I had consulted a urologist 5 years ago, and he told me that i had a frenulum breve.He told me not to worry about it and that it wouldn't affect 'normal' life.Now, i am 21 and i have reasons to worry about it.I can uncover the head of my penis when flaccid and a little more.After that, i am not able to uncover anymore because of some tightness in the skin (not the frenulum..it gets pretty tight anyway).
If you find it “pretty tight anyway”, your main problem can well be phimosis and not frenulum breve, as diagnosed. The two, yes, often go together. With exercise, both can remedied.
>Do i see another problem here? I have never fully retracted my foreskin down to the base of the shaft.
Many others haven’t either. Mine is pretty damn flexible and I still can’t pull it totally “flat” with the best boner I can produce. Pulling back comfortably, that’s the key; somewhere half-way down the shaft should well suffice (even less can).
>Can problems with frenulum breve be temporarily solved with condoms? I have never handled condoms before, so is it possible to wear a condom over the foreskin that hasn't been retracted over the glans? I might be thinking of penetration in a few weeks' time.Should i go ahead with it?
You SHOULD use condoms anyway. A fairly good (if not the best) tool for preventing the spread of a good amount of STDs and lessening the possibility of ending up with an unwanted child.
> What exactly is an incision when it comes to frenular contexts? Is the frenulum fully cut off? Please let me know...Sometimes. Sometimes it’s just cut in two and stitched back in a lengthier manner.
In a good amount of cases, surgical intervention for such foreskin problems is not necessary.
