Is This Frenulum Breve?
If sex causes a pulling pain underneath, or a small tear that keeps reopening, you are in the right place
Signs Adults Notice
Many men wait years before asking about this. You do not need to. The frenulum is the small band of tissue on the underside of the penis connecting the foreskin to the head. When it is naturally short, or has scarred after tearing, doctors call it frenulum breve. Many men only learn the name after searching for the symptom: a tear during sex, sometimes described as tearing the "banjo string."
Common signs: a pulling or tight sensation on the underside during erection; pain during sex, or the head being tugged downward when erect; a small tear that bleeds, heals, then reopens; a pale or thickened band where a previous tear healed tight.
Your free phone or WhatsApp-video consultation can tell you whether this sounds like frenulum breve and what your realistic options are; final confirmation happens at your appointment.

Stretching Exercises vs. a Lasting Fix: The Honest Answer
Here is what four decades of adult cases show.
Stretching can help a mildly short frenulum that has never torn. Once torn and scarred, it rarely holds; the next tear tends to happen at the same spot.
We do not offer stretching-based treatment.
Signs Stretching Will Not Solve It
Prior tearing:
The frenulum has already torn once or more
A scarred band:
A pale, firm band of scar tissue has formed where a tear healed
Recurrence:
Tearing or bleeding keeps happening at the same spot
A tight foreskin too:
The short frenulum comes together with a foreskin that will not retract (phimosis)
When a Procedure Is the Lasting Fix
Frenuloplasty lengthens the tight band; frenulectomy removes it. Both treat the problem at its source

A straight answer, no pressure
If the foreskin is tight too, circumcision addresses both at once; see adult phimosis circumcision.

What to Expect from a Frenuloplasty or Frenulectomy

-
Recovery guidance. You leave with written aftercare instructions and know exactly what normal healing looks like and when to reach out.
Recovery at a Glance
Light and desk work: most men return within 1 to 2 days. Strenuous activity and exercise: after 3 to 4 weeks. Sexual activity: after 4 to 6 weeks. For the full healing picture, see recovery after adult circumcision.
Private, Discreet, Judgment-Free
A short or torn frenulum is one of the most common reasons adult men seek help, and there is nothing unusual about your situation. Consultations are private, conversations are confidential, and care is delivered without ceremony or awkwardness. Patients visit the private Brooklyn clinic from across the region, and adults travel from across the U.S. and internationally.
Prefer not to visit a clinic at all?

Frenuloplasty and frenulectomy are performed under local anesthesia. You are awake, comfortable, and able to talk throughout. There is no general anesthesia, no hospital admission, and no operating room.
