Short frenulum and balanitis

Posted , 3 users are following.

Everytime after I masturbate, the frenulum seems to be dark red or sometimes purple. I've seen a doctor once and he said it was balanitis. Is it actually balanitis? Do u have a short frenulum? And how do I treat this naturally?

    Picture is kind of dark...can you display a brighter photo of the erect penis showing the frenulum and shaft?

      it's kinda hard to find a good lighting but here's one from the side. U can see a little that it's dark red.

      When masturbating, is there a lot of tension on the frenulum that causes your meatus just below the urethra to be pulled on? Are you uncut?

      it's not much tension, but I like to bring my foreskin to the glans and pull back again when masturbating. maybe that puts pressure on the frenulum? I'm also circumcised when I was 12 yrs but then 2 years later I gained so much weight that the skin grew back. Now I lost the weight the skin seems to be more stretched

      If there is no pain when masturbating, or sexual intercourse, you're frenulum is fine. The red/purple appearance is just from the increased blood flow during arousal. As you are aware, the penis takes a little beating when jerking off from time to time.
