I've been dealing with paraphimosis for a while now my foreskin doesn't retract fully and my frenulum seems too short, maybe frenulum breve. It's affecting my erections and making sex uncomfortable. Is there a safe, non-surgical way to fix this? I'd really prefer to avoid surgery if possible.

For mild to moderate paraphimosis (difficulty retracting the foreskin) and possible short frenulum, non-surgical treatments like gentle stretching exercises, steroid creams, and possibly lubrication can be effective. However, for severe cases or if these methods don't work, surgical options might be necessary.

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.
