Short frenulum and tight foreskin can tear and hurt. A urologist can suggest frenuloplasty, circumcision, or creams. Use lubrication and gentle care during sex. - for that Book a urology consultation and start gentle, safe sexual practice.
understand your concern. Short frenulum (frenulum breve) and mild tight foreskin can create fear of pain or tear during sex. This fear itself can cause stress and erection problems. Ayurveda can help by improving tissue elasticity, reducing anxiety, and improving confidence, but also gentle local care is important.

HELLO, You have -short frenulum (the small skin band below the penis head is tight) -mild tight foreskin -repeated pain during sexual activity -fear that the skin may tear -anxiety-> loss of erection-> sadness and low confidence This is not just a physical problem and not just a mental problem It is a combined body mind condition WHY PAIN AND FEAR ARE CONNECTED When pain happened earlier -the brain stored pain as a danger memory -next time you think about sex, the brain sends fear signals -fear increases muscle tightness and dryness -tight tissues + anxiety= more pain -this cycle causes erecton problems This cycle continues unless both tissue tightness and anxiety are treated together In Ayurevda this condition mainly invovles 1) VATA DOSHA AGGRAVATION Vata controls= nerves, pain. fear, erection and ejaculation When vata increases= overthinknig, anxiety, pain sensitivity, poor erection stablity 2) MAMSA AND SHUKRA DHATU DUSHTI -frenulum and foreskn lose elasticity -tisues become dry and tight -healing capacity reduces 3) MANOVAHA SROTAS DUSHTI -sexual fear -loss of confidence -deressive thoughts -performance anxiety Therefore, Ayurveda treats: Vata + tissue nourishment + mind calming together Treatment Goals 1.

Sexual Counseling Advice - Pain fear is psychological memory, not permanent damage - Frenulum tearing is rare - Even if it tears, it heals well -Anxiety is causing erection issue, not weakness When Surgery is Considered If: - Frenulum is extremely short - Recurrent tearing despite treatment - Severe pain continues -Minor frenuloplasty may be advised Ayurveda still helps before & after surgery. Prognosis This condition is treatable Erectile issues are reversible Anxiety will reduce gradually Sexual confidence will return You are not sexually weak or damaged “Your body is capable of healing. Your mind only needs reassurance and calmness. Treat both together - recovery will follow.” Do follow Hope this might be helpful Thank you DR. MAITRI ACHARYA
