Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXX,
Thanks for writing in to us.

I have read through your query in detail.
Please find my observations below.

1. Sorry to hear about the tear in frenulum. Hope the bleeding was not much ans wish you a quick recovery.

2. If this is the first time your frenulum got torn then please do not worry. It should be healing in 2 weeks time. In some cases it can take slightly longer due to scar formation.

3. Application of antiseptic ointment bought from the pharmacy containing bactericidal is a good remedy to avoid infection in the area. However to keep it clear, you might like to wash your genital area with warm water twice a day and then proceed with application of the ointment.

4. It is suggested that you wear loose inner clothes made of cotton. This will prevent sweat formation and that reduces the chance of an infection. It will also prevent the sharp pain due to unintentional contact of the wound with tight inner clothes. Please do not touch the wound with unclean hands and touch it only when you are giving it a was and applying ointment.

5. The wound might develop a scar during healing. In most people the healing scar is not a problem but in a few of them the scar might cause a shorter frenulum which can get torn again. If this happens you are advised to consult a surgeon and take treatment for it.

6. Please avoid sex for few weeks and when you start having sex again, please use a lot of lubricants and take it slowly and have sexual intercourse in a gentle way. Violent and rough sex should be avoided till it heals completely.

7. Should there be any bleeding, pus formation or discharge from the wound then it might indicate infection and please consult your doctor immediately for a short course of antibiotics.

Hope this answers your question. Please feel free to correct any oversight in my interpretation of your problems and discuss them in detail as per your requirements.

Hope your query is answered.

1. Please apply ointment neosporin or soframycin and these are antiseptic containing bactericidal.

2. The cut is small and will quickly.

3. Foreskin is having a rich blood supply therefore during sex there is increased blood flow in the area and that can cause it to appear swollen up during sex.
