It is very important to prevent a situation with a tear of the bridle, as this will help to avoid many unpleasant moments, such as, for example, severe bleeding or pain. In addition, men who were born with such an anomaly need to know about the reasons for which a bridle tear may occur.
Main reasons
To begin with, a man must know from the very beginning about the presence of a short bridle, and such information can only be obtained from a urologist. The fact is that outwardly the bridle looks quite normal and cannot cause any suspicion. Naturally, a person who does not know that he has such an anatomical feature does not take care of himself and does not try to avoid situations that could lead to injury. Tearing of the bridle can occur with gross or very sharp movements during intercourse, as well as in the process of rupture of the hymen.
The same problem may occur if the female vagina was not sufficiently moistened, and special lubricants were not used during intercourse. With the problem of tearing the bridle, specialists come to those men or teenagers who were engaged in intensive masturbation.
It is very important to pay attention to all these factors, try to avoid them, since tearing of the frenum can lead to serious consequences and to possible infection of the damaged area. In addition, scar tissue can form at the site of the tear, which will further complicate the situation, for example, in the most negative way affect potency.
Symptoms
The frenum or the foreskin of the penis is a thin film of connective tissue, which is characterized by increased elasticity and resistance to external mechanical influences. Tearing or tearing it is completely impossible. However, cases of violation of the integrity of the skin - the frenulum, are still present in clinical practice. Trauma can be recognized based on the following signs of a violation:
- Bruising or small venous bleeding. This is neither dangerous nor fatal, but it causes a huge amount of inconvenience and often leads to panic. When bloody clots appear, the affected area should be treated with hydrogen peroxide, other antiseptics (not iodine) and close the site of the tear with a bandage. After this, you need to wash yourself with slightly cool water using a liquid pH-neutral soap, put on fresh cotton linen and go to the doctor's appointment.
- Edema. Swelling is a characteristic symptom of damage to the skin and hematoma. Therefore, if edema occurs, it must be eliminated by applying to the damaged area a moist gauze cloth moistened with cold boiled water.
- Pain syndrome when opening the glans penis.
- Difficulty urinating.
- Urine irritation of the foreskin. If urea enters the wound surface, local inflammation of the soft tissues occurs. Therefore, the urination process is best combined with water procedures, covering the bridle region with several layers of gauze dressing.
First aid
Each representative of the stronger sex is obliged to have information about first aid in the event that a frenulum of the penis has ruptured. The first actions must be focused on urgently stopping the bleeding:
- It is necessary as soon as possible to crush the gap zone with clean fingers, pressing the bridle to the head of the penis, and restrain it in this state for at least 10 minutes.
- No need to press very hard to avoid probable ischemia of the head.
- When the blood stops completely, treat the bridle with the disinfecting substance existing in the medicine cabinet and bandage it with a clean gauze bandage (preferably a sterile bandage).
- As soon as possible, go to the clinic for advice.
- The defect site must be examined by a specialist.
When breaking, it is best to contact a urologist. He will evaluate the size of the injury and give tips on preventing the formation of scars on the frenum, which can cause loss of elasticity and a decrease in length.
What types of treatment are used?
If the bridle in the penis is torn, then, as a rule, the doctor prescribes surgical treatment. However, it all depends on the degree of damage. For example, if the tear is slight, and the bleeding is small, then treatment of the frenulum tear occurs in men at home. The wound is carefully washed with a weak solution of potassium permanganate. It is imperative to observe hygiene for quick healing.
When the strain is huge, there is bleeding, then you should go to the doctor who will stitch. However, this does not mean that the issue is resolved, the unpleasant results of the injury are ahead. A huge scar forms in the gap zone, and this becomes a factor in which premature ejaculation is traced, for which only a few frictional movements are enough, as a result of sexual intercourse it turns out to be defective, unsatisfactory.
Frenulotomy
This method makes it possible not only to cure the effects of tearing the bridle on the head in men, but also to first remove the root cause. At the same time, therapy is completely painless, does not require a large amount of time and does not injure the patient's psyche.
As previously described, the short flesh of the bridle becomes a factor in the gap. The technology of frenulotomy involves an elementary plastic procedure, during which the length of the frenulum increases. This process is not painful and takes only 20 minutes, in order to exclude unpleasant sensations, local anesthesia is used. During the procedure, the following is performed:
- A transverse incision is made on the bridle and then sutured, however, the scar is superimposed along, which makes it possible to reduce a very significant stretching of the skin. Already after the bridle heals, a slightly noticeable suture remains in this place, which will not differ at all against the background of an ordinary suture passing along the penis below. Now the foreskin is freely pulled down, there is no stretching, and the head of the penis can be completely exposed.
- The implementation of this procedure is advisable not only to eliminate difficulties with the bridle, it can help relieve discomfort during a sexual act. In addition, the head of the penis is straightened, which can be twisted due to a short bridle.
- The wound heals after the procedure for 3-5 days and does not annoy the man. A full sex life can begin in half a month.
Circumcision
Quite often, in men with a short bridle, a concomitant disease of the foreskin of the genital organ is observed - phimosis (narrowing of the channel for urination). With phimosis, the glans penis is partially exposed or not exposed at all.
It is impossible to get rid of phimosis by cutting the frenum alone, since such a process can worsen the condition. Suitable for phimosis is considered the method of circumcision (circumcision).
Seek medical help in the event of a rupture of the bridle sooner or later still have to. It is more correct to do this if the bridle is torn for the first time, and not wait for complications and relapses.
VY plastic
There are other ways that can prevent men from tearing the frenum of the penis. VY-plasty therapy is effective. However, it provides a poor aesthetic result, and phimosis may form after it. This method is used less frequently than frenulotomy.
other methods
In addition to the above, the following methods are also used for tearing a bridle in men, whose photo is not applied for ethical reasons:
- Laser surgery Instead of a scalpel and suturing, a laser stream is used that can separate the tissues and connect them in a seamless way.
- Radio wave surgery. A non-contact incision and tissue separation is performed under the influence of high-frequency radio waves.
How are they carried out?
There are reasons why hardware microsurgery is less common than traditional. They are associated primarily with the fact that a member is considered a body that regularly changes its own volume. For this reason, if the patient’s bridle has broken and it is necessary to perform the procedure using a laser or radio waves, then additional fixation of tissue pooling areas will be required. This can give negative results for men associated with the formation of scars in places of tissue union.
Before performing the procedure for lengthening the frenum, you should make sure that the patient does not have contraindications. Among them is the presence of inflammatory processes or infections of the genital organs, immunodeficiency states or serious liver diseases.
Any of the procedures that are shown in case the bridle is broken, lasts no more than half an hour. After its completion, there is no need for inpatient treatment. Only one thing that needs to be done after surgery is to ensure member hygiene and to abstain from sexual intercourse for 2-3 weeks until the wound is completely healed.
Recovery period
This congenital pathology can greatly complicate a man’s personal life, since a short bridle can cause slight pain during an erection or severe pain during intercourse. Moreover, in the latter case, the pain can also be accompanied by severe bleeding that occurs due to a tear of the frenum.
There are several stages of tearing the bridle. In a man in especially severe cases, the genital organ may also bend, and this can further complicate the patient’s personal life. This pathology appears in some children and does not pass with time, but, on the contrary, the situation can worsen. So, for example, over time, a short frenulum will tear, and this will lead to additional pain.
In order to prevent tearing of the frenum of the penis, it is very important to contact the local doctor in time, who will diagnose, then prescribe treatment in an operative way. It is necessary to consult a doctor immediately and in those cases if a bridle tear has already occurred, and it is not worth pulling with a trip to the doctor, as this problem can lead to complications.
Rehabilitation period
Various surgical methods are used to treat a bridle tear, which are selected individually by the doctor. After treatment of a bridle tear, the patient needs to go through a recovery period, and it is very important to adhere to all of the doctor's recommendations.
So, the patient must refuse for a certain period completely from sexual relations. For the same reason, masturbation should also be banned, which can lead to divergence of fresh joints. In addition, it is necessary to reduce all physical activity for the entire rehabilitation period. This applies not only to classes in the gym, but also to carrying heavy bags with products.
Great attention must be paid to intimate hygiene, and the place that was operated on should be very carefully treated after each trip to the toilet with special means that have an antiseptic effect.
After the operation to treat a bridle tear, you should regularly visit a urologist who will prescribe treatment with certain drugs and will monitor the healing process of the suture.
