You’re facing difficulty pulling back the skin (frenulum) under the head of the penis, which may be due to tightness, stiffness, or early scarring. This can happen over time due to dryness, less circulation, or some internal imbalance in the body. While surgery like frenuloplasty is an option, we prefer to first treat this naturally using Ayurvedic methods that work from inside and outside the body.
We’ll start with a treatment called Mutrashaya Basti (a special type of medicated enema), which helps remove deep dryness, stiffness, and blockages from the urinary and reproductive system. This is done using a warm herbal oil that softens the tissues and balances the affected doshas (Vata and Kapha). Along with this, we’ll also do external therapies like warm oil massage, mild steaming, and application of herbal paste on the lower abdomen and groin area. These treatments increase blood flow, reduce any tightness, and improve the elasticity of the skin — making it more flexible naturally. With proper care and time, this may help avoid surgery altogether and give you long-term results. I will give you treatment protocol that will help but u need to get assisted by a physician once : *Internal Medicines (for 21 days): Chandraprabha Vati – 2 tablets, twice daily after food Gokshuradi Guggulu – 2 tablets, twice daily after food Varunadi Kashayam – 15 ml with equal warm water, twice daily before food Ashwagandha Churna – 3 g with warm milk at bedtime * Panchakarma & Local Procedures (7–14 days): Mutrashaya Basti – with Balashwagandhadi Taila or Sahacharadi Taila, once daily in evening Abhyanga – oil massage on lower abdomen/groin with Dhanwantaram Taila Nadi Swedana – mild steam therapy for 5–10 minutes after massage Lepa – apply paste of Manjishta + Haridra + Yashtimadhu on lower abdomen/groin area once daily
If you’re experiencing discomfort due to tightness or restriction in your frenulum, this condition is commonly known as frenulum breve. Frenuloplasty can indeed be a surgical option, and it’s often effective in relieving this issue. However, it’s important to weigh the decision carefully. Frenuloplasty is a minor surgical procedure that involves the release or enlargement of the frenulum, and side effects are typically minimal, but like any surgery, there are risks such as infection, bleeding, or scarring.
Regarding the impact on future sexual performance, most individuals find that, once healed, sexual activity is more comfortable, with enhanced sensation and movement. The surgery generally doesn’t impact long-term sexual function negatively.
In Ayurveda, we often consider lifestyle, diet, and natural remedies before opting for surgery. Since your discomfort occurs during sexual activity and not persistently, consider some Ayurvedic practices that focus on balancing your doshas, enhancing your skin elasticity, and overall health. Start by consulting with an Ayurvedic practitioner who may suggest herbal treatments like ashwagandha or shatavari, believed to promote tissue flexibility. Abhyanga, an oil massage using warm sesame or coconut oil, can also support skin health.
Ensure you keep the area clean and avoid any irritants. If fungi or bacteria are a concern, neem oil or tea tree oil can be used diluted, but be cautious as it’s sensitive area.
For dietary considerations, nourishing foods that promote skin health and elasticity such as almonds, sunflower seeds, and ghee could be beneficial. Maintain well-hydrated body to support tissue suppleness.
Ultimately, if the discomfort is persistent and impacts your quality of life, seeking professional medical advice is always best. Collaboration between modern and Ayurvedic practices can sometimes offer the most balanced path to health.
