How to treat a torn frenulum?
Patient: I used to have a bracket on one of my molar teeth with a hook for a rubber band for invisalign treatment. Two years ago when I was performing oral sex on my boyfriend, his frenulum got caguht on the hook. It took me about 30-60 seconds to get it off. He did not break but it tore and was bleeding. He was in a great deal of pain. Based on all of my research online it seemed like it would heal up on its own and be fine. However it is still an issue to this day. He has lots of pain with insertion durring sex and cannot mastrubate more than once in a day  or have sex for very long without having alot of pain and discomfort. This has not only caused physical discomfort but it has caused him to be depressed and have low self esteem and less of a will to live  he still resents me for it. We rarely have sex anymore. He refuses to see a doctor because he is pretty sure the only option is surgery to either repair the frenulum or have a full on circumcsion. He refuses to have surgery in his most sensitive area and says that the most he would do to treat it is an ointment. I would like to know what the options are before making any assumptions, but I have a feeling he may be right. Are there any options other than surgery? Doctor: Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.  The tear might have fibrosed and causing the pain and discomfort. So it is better to go for circumcision now. Circumcision will cure all his problem. Consult a urologist and go for circumcision.  Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Regards, Dr. Shinas Hussain
