The frenulum of the foreskin on the penis is represented by a longitudinal fold of the mucosa and skin. It is located on the lower surface of the penis. The head of the penis is covered with foreskin, the left and right side of which is connected from behind by the bridle of the foreskin.
Numerous lymphatic and blood vessels are located in this longitudinal fold. They are involved in supplying the head of the penis with blood. The bridle of the foreskin has increased sensitivity. This is due to the pronounced innervation of this area.
Normally, the bridle of the foreskin has good extensibility and does not cause a man any inconvenience. However, in some cases, pathology is noted - the longitudinal fold of the penis is too short. The cause may be injury. However, as a rule, a short bridle is a congenital pathology.
Diagnosing abnormalities at an early age is usually difficult. This problem is most effectively detected in adolescence.
A short bridle prevents normal exposure of the head. One of the most unpleasant consequences is soreness, which appears during masturbation or sexual contact. The regular occurrence of this sensation can steadily gain a foothold in the mind of a man and provoke fear of sexual intercourse. As a result, a violation of potency may develop.
However, a short bridle can cause other very serious complications. In the process of intercourse, it is stretched. The more active the sex, the stronger the tension. In the end, the man feels that the bridle of the foreskin is torn. Despite its relatively small size, this fold is supplied with blood quite well, in addition, there are a lot of nerve webs in this area. Thus, the rupture is accompanied by bleeding and pain.
What to do if the bridle is torn?
With a slight gap and mild bleeding, you can cope with the situation yourself. An effective tool in this condition are baths with the addition of a weak solution of potassium permanganate. In the case of a quick stop of bleeding, it is more likely to avoid complications.
However, as practice shows, it is often difficult to cope with the situation independently. This is due to severe bleeding and severe pain. In such cases, the help of a qualified professional is required. For this, you should immediately contact a urologist or surgeon who will schedule the operation. During the intervention, stitches will be sutured.
At the same time, it should be noted that, as a rule, problems in a man are just beginning. After stopping the bleeding, a scar forms in the rupture area, which shortens the frenulum even further. Moreover, the man has another extremely unpleasant problem - premature ejaculation. In this case, ejaculation can occur literally after two or three frictions. Premature ejaculation is associated with a scar. A huge number of nerve endings of the skin pass through it. From them pass impulses that provoke premature ejaculation.
You can determine whether the bridle is short. This will become clear during intercourse or masturbation. If soreness or tension is felt, as well as during the ejaculation, the head of the penis is substantially tilted down, then most likely the bridle is short.
The only method to eliminate such a pathology is a correction operation. It should be noted that there are cases when men with a short bridle have not experienced any problems in their entire lives. However, this anatomical anomaly is considered by experts to be a “time bomb”. With such a pathology, it is difficult to predict. Therefore, experts recommend undergoing surgery in advance in order to prevent possible consequences.
