    Penile frenulum sensitivity may be caused by thin skin, inflammation and infection, excessive foreskin and other reasons. It is recommended that patients seek medical treatment in time.

    1. Thin skin

    It may be caused by the local skin being more sensitive. Patients can use a soft towel to rub the penis through physical therapy, which can reduce the sensitivity of the penis to a certain extent.

    2. Inflammation and infection

    This may be due to improper cleaning or lack of personal hygiene. It has a certain impact on sexual function and can be treated with drugs. Topical application of lidocaine ointment, dyclonine hydrochloride ointment, etc. can help improve symptoms.

    3. Foreskin is too long

    If it is caused by excessive foreskin, surgical removal of the foreskin can be helpful to improve symptoms.

    In addition to the above reasons, it may also be caused by excessive sexual intercourse. It is recommended to avoid prolonged sexual intercourse to avoid adverse effects.
