Q: What are the consequences if the penis frenulum breaks during masturbation?

A:Frenulum is the delicate fold of skin attaching the underneath of glans to prepucial skin. It carries frenular artery and some nerves. Frenulum may get torn during forceful skin stretch, or during normal stretch when it is short and tight. Acute consequence of such mishap is the bleeding which may be bothersome. There are no residual deficits after it has healed. In fact, elective frenuloplasty is recommended to men with very short frenulum threatening a tear or causing pain during intercourse.
