I'm experiencing a lot of pain during sex and I'm not sure if it's because of a short frenulum or something else. I also have a hard time opening it properly when it becomes erect. Can you help me figure out what's going on?

It sounds like you may be experiencing pain due to a condition called phimosis, where the foreskin is too tight to be pulled back over the head of the penis. This can be caused by a short frenulum. I recommend using a topical steroid cream like Betamethasone (0.05%) to help loosen the foreskin. Apply a small amount to the tight area twice a day for about 4-6 weeks. If this does not improve your symptoms, you may need to consider a circumcision or a frenuloplasty procedure. Please consult with a urologist for further evaluation and management.
