Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Prostate laser surgery costs more than hernia surgery, and recovery times are generally shorter for hernia surgery. Both procedures have potential risks, though prostate laser surgery may have fewer complications like heavy bleeding and extended hospital stays

I've been having an issue with the skin on my penis, specifically where it connects underneath it's only about 1 cm attached, and it feels too tight. Everything else seems fine, but when I'm having sex, it gets painful because the skin can't pull back all the way. I looked it up and think it might be a tight frenulum. The pictures I found online match exactly what's going on with me. Would surgery be the right fix for this?
It's possible you have a tight frenulum, also known as frenulum breve, which can cause pain during sexual activity and difficulty retracting the foreskin. While a surgical procedure, known as frenuloplasty, might be an option to lengthen the frenulum, it's best to discuss your concerns and potential treatment options with a doctor. They can properly assess your condition and determine the best course of action for you

nephrologist opinion is advised.
