I noticed blood from my penis while drying after bath. Is this due to short frenulum?

Question

Hello doctor,

Today when I was taking my bath, as usual, I cleaned my penis shaft and cleaned the area under my foreskin. After dried my body, I saw 10 drops of blood on the floor and the bleeding continued for two minutes maximum. I have a short frenulum problem (but not serious). I am an unmarried male. Never go for masturbation and never go for sexual intercourse with anyone. Now I am feeling mild itching inside. Kindly suggest.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

You seem to have short frenulum. Bleeding can be due to trauma during cleaning. If it recurs kindly see the source or exact site. For itching, you can take tablet Levocetirizine on demand. You can also apply Lignocaine 2% jelly locally (which may decrease some sensation for some time). Avoid aggressive cleaning of glans. You can use wet dry cotton for the same. Do not worry you will be fine.

Hi,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

There can be problems /pain during intercourse or masturbation. There is no medication for the same. Frenuloplasty is a simple procedure to be done. Before proceeding it is very important to differentiate between phimosis and tight frenulum or both. If you can upload a photo before, during and after retracting your penis then it will be great for proper diagnosis.
