2nd opinion

Dr. Rania Mousa General Medicine
Penis tears can result from a variety of causes. The most common are:
-Friction - The most obvious cause of a cut on the penis is too much friction during sex.
-Frenulum injury - There is a structure underneath the penis head that is known as the frenulum. It is like a ridge of small skin connecting the head of the penis to the shaft skin. At some point, when the sex is already too hard, the frenulum may be ripped or torn, resulting in bleeding.
-Balanitis - This is a condition that often surfaces as a result of chronic diabetes. Diabetic patients are at risk because wound healing is generally slowed down
-Yeast infection - The most common type of male yeast infection is the one affecting the male reproductive organ. Sexual dysfunction, burning sensation during sex, reddened penis head and blistered penile trunk are the most common signs and symptoms of yeast infection
-Other causes - Genital piercings and an allergy to latex condoms
TREATMENTS:
Managing penis tears depends on its cause. This is why it is important to find out what exactly causes the cuts on the penis
-Men are encouraged to insert the penis when the partner is already "wet" or at least has sufficient artificial lubrication applied. Lubricants aid in lessening friction to avoid injury for both parties
-For frenulum injury, frenuloplasty, and other minor surgeries can be performed on short and thin frenulums
-Steroids are used to treat balanitis related to skin diseases while antibiotics are prescribed for balanitis resulting from infection.
-Antifungal creams are used to fight against yeast infections. Because it has been found that most men contract this type of infection from their partners, it is also advisable to have the partner checked for the presence of such and get treated if diagnosed to be positive.
