Patient's Query

Hi doctor,

I am a 28 year old male. I got married before two years. For the past three to four months, I have a condition of irritation at the base of the head of penis head, tight foreskin and redness especially where the foreskin is connected to the head. It happens after intercourse and it takes about four to five days to become normal. This happens after each intercourse for the past three to four months. Please advice.

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I presume that your problems are due to a condition called frenulum breve, where the skinfold attaching prepuce to glans base is very short. The best treatment for this condition is a surgical correction called frenuloplasty. It is a daycare procedure and can be done under local anesthesia.

Same symptoms don't mean you have the same problem. Consult a doctor now!
