I'm having a bit of a problem where my frenulum seems too short, making my foreskin really tight and painful when I try to pull it back over the head. I'm wondering, is frenuloplasty my only option here? Also, how much does that kind of surgery typically cost?

A short frenulum, known as frenulum breve, can cause discomfort and tightness when retracting the foreskin. Frenuloplasty is a common procedure to correct this by lengthening the frenulum. While it is an effective option, non-surgical treatments like topical steroids may also help in some cases. The cost of frenuloplasty can vary, typically ranging from $500 to $2,000, depending on the healthcare provider and location.

I'm really having some trouble during intercourse. When I do oral sex, my erection is strong, but when it comes to penetration, I just can't seem to find the right spot, and I start to lose my erection. I've only been married for two weeks, so this is all new to me. Could you please guide me on what I might be doing wrong or how I can keep my erection?

Its not uncommon for men to experience difficulty maintaining an erection during vaginal intercourse, especially in the early stages of marriage. This can be due to anxiety, stress, or the pressure to perform. It may help to focus on relaxation, communicate openly with your partner, and consider consulting a healthcare provider if the issue persists.
