my frenulum is too short and tight making it uncomfortable is there any natural ways to stretch or loosen it without surgery i really want to avoid going under the knife

A short frenulum can sometimes be stretched with exercises or topical creams. If painful, minor surgery (frenuloplasty) is often effective.

View allI'm a 26-year-old guy and I've been really stressed about an issue I'm having. There's this membrane-like thing that seems to prevent my foreskin from pulling back properly, and it really stings if I try to force it. I came across some info online and I think it might be the frenulum. It's affecting my relationship and Im really worried about it. Is there anything I can do at home to fix it, or does it mean I need to get circumcised? Any advice would be great.

I'm wondering if using coconut oil under the foreskin is a good idea for keeping things clean, especially to prevent smegma. If coconut oil isn't recommended, what other options are there that I can try? Just trying to figure out the best way to maintain hygiene down there.
Using coconut oil under the foreskin can actually lead to a buildup of smegma and increase the risk of infections. A better substitute for keeping the area clean is to use a mild, unscented soap and warm water during daily hygiene routines. Additionally, applying a thin layer of over-the-counter antifungal cream like Clotrimazole cream twice a day can help prevent smegma buildup and maintain proper hygiene.

I've been using candid B cream and taking itraconazole 200mg for balanoposthitis on my genitals. Is this the right treatment plan? I'm a bit worried if it's effective or if I should be doing something different.
