    Self-correction of a too short foreskin frenulum generally does not cost money, but self-correction involves risks and it is recommended to seek medical treatment.

    A short foreskin frenulum is a physiological structural abnormality. Self-correction may lead to frenulum tearing, bleeding or infection due to improper operation. Some stretching methods circulated on the Internet lack medical basis, and long-term incorrect operation may aggravate local scarring. If the frenulum is slightly too short, progressive stretching training can be carried out under the guidance of a professional doctor, but it must be accompanied by disinfection care and regular evaluation. If it is accompanied by erectile pain or dyspareunia, medical intervention such as frenuloplasty is usually required on an outpatient basis. The cost of surgery varies depending on the anesthesia method and surgical procedure.

    Daily care should be taken to keep the perineum clean and dry, and avoid violent pulling or stimulation with instruments. Wear loose-fitting cotton underwear to reduce friction, and use lubricant to reduce frenulum tension during sex. If there is redness, swelling, ulceration or repeated bleeding of the frenulum, you must immediately stop any self-treatment measures and see an andrology or urology department.
