    I have a really tight foreskin that has very limited movement. I believe this is due to having a tight frenulum. I am wondering what are the possible treatments and if it is best advised to visit a doctor about this problem?

    A tight penile frenulum can cause the foreskin to be difficult to retract, can cause pain with erections and intercourse, and can tear and bleed.

    You should ask your GP for a referral to an urologist for a small operation to divide the frenulum

    Occasionally, tightening of the frenulum can be due to skin conditions such as lichen sclerosus. The tightening may improve with treatment of the skin condition, but the procedure Dr Love is referring to may still need to be performed
