Hi
I wanted to start a more recent topic on Frenuloplasty afte reading about this operation on this forum I wanted to give my insight and personal experience in case it helps anyone out there make the decision to go forward.
I suffered from a short frenulum on my penis for years. I self referred myself to the GP at 14 and was given steriod cream. This helped as I could then start retracting my foreskin whilst flacid but always suffered from tight foreskin when erect making oral sex very sensitive and sometimes too much to handle.
at the age of 32 I decided to go back to the GP following reading a discussion on this site regarding Frenuolplasty surgery. I always attempted to find a solution not to have a circumcision unless absolutley neccessary. I therefore hoped my discussion with the GP would start the ball rolling for a potential frenuloplasty.
In Nov 21 I went to the GP who referred me to a urologist. In Dec 21 I had my first Urologist appointment who instantly said I had 3 options. First, was to remain as I am as the issue wouldnt get any wor but also wouldnt get any beter. Second was a Frenuloplasty surgery, which he was in favour for based on my ability to retract the foreksin whilst flaccid, or third was to have a full circumcision. He believed the frenuoplasty would solve the issue. Therefore I went with his advice.
In Jan 22 I had a phone call to say I could have the surgery first week of Feb 22.
I attended the day patients clinic in Feb 22 at 3pm. I was taken to theatres at 6pm put under General Anthesetic. I was more nervous of this however I never even felt the needle go into my hand, I was shocked! Within seconds I was fast asleep.
I then woke up around half 6. Felt fine no nausea etc. I was aware I was given two local Anthestic shots prior to waking up at thr base of my penis which took any pain away.
I was discharged at 8pm. So 5 hours in and out.
First week I was petrified of cleaning the wound in case it stung either retracting the foreskin or using water. What I did do was retract my foreksin gently each day by applying lots of vaseline and then clean the foreksin and glands with baby wipes soaked in water.
I had several days of blood spotting but nothing major and a horrible smell from the wound but no pain at all that included a week fo nghtly erections.
Halfway into week 2 I started to lose my stitches and by week 3 all stithces had disappeared.
I did find when the wound started to heal and the stitches began lossening when I attempted to retract my foreksin I felt a sharp pain by the banjo string . However week 3 I have masturbated and retracted daily under water in a bath and whilst drying and no pain what so ever. The wound looks nearly healed and I am very pleased with the outcome.
Ican feel a difference now when the foreksin is retracted when flaccid still a little scared to try erect but have tried slightly and can manage to get halfway down the penis which is more then before.
My advice if anyone is thinking about this is to go for it. I have put it off for 14 years and after going through it I am annoyed with myself that I put it off for so long.
The Op is quick and painless. Recovery is quick 3 weeks and back to normal. During the recovery weeks slight annoyance more then painful. Never hurt to urinate and just made sure it eas clean after by using baby wipes. So far so good.
Any questions fell free to ask or PM me and ill try to answer anything
