The frenulum can be short or even too short.
·        As long as the foreskin can retract behind your glans you don’t have to expect any difficulties when you make love.
·        When it is rather short you may feel some tension during intercourse and afterwards the frenulum might feel somewhat bruised.
·        If your foreskin cannot be retracted because the frenulum is too short, it is difficult to clean the glans. Smegma from the glans and foreskin becomes an unpleasant, unhealthy and bad-smelling substance, increasing the risk of infections. It can also cause problems during intercourse. When you masturbate pain can be avoided by keeping the foreskin in a forward position. But during intercourse the foreskin might be forced back, causing pain. The frenulum can easily rip, often bleeding excessively.
·       If your frenulum is too short, this can only be solved by an operation in which an urologist lengthens the ligament. This is done by a series of small cuts, which are stitched together forming a straight line. It’s a minor operation that’s always successful.
