Frenulotomy / Frenuloplasty / Release of a Short Penile Frenulum / Bratislava / Piešťany

What is frenulotomy / frenuloplasty?

Cutting of the short frenulum of the penis (frenulotomy) is one of the most commonly performed minor operations. At our workplace, we perform it painlessly, using the most modern local anesthetics and self-absorbing suture material, which ensures the patient complete comfort and painless procedure without the need for subsequent suture removal.

Frenulotomy is performed for two reasons. One is a short frenulum and the other is premature ejaculation. The procedure does not require subsequent sick leave. Only sexual abstinence for 14 days is necessary.

If you are healthy, do not take any medications affecting blood clotting and book the procedure in advance by phone, we can perform the procedure immediately after examination by our doctor.

In case you require the procedure under general anesthesia (artificial sleep), please contact our reception, where we will arrange a consultation appointment, which in this case must precede the procedure under artificial sleep.

Frenulotomy is used as the first step in the treatment of premature ejaculation (ejaculatio praecox). It helps some patients completely. In those where this measure is not sufficient, medications based on antidepressants or local anesthetics that are applied to the penis need to be administered.
