Frenulum Breve (Help)

Birdseyefeud

I am 16 years old and require a procedure to solve frenulum breve (Short bowstring).
Obviously, I’m too embarrassed to talk to my parents about it so I was going to to go to the GP myself. I wanted to know how I’d go about arranging this appointment, what would I ask when I phone up? I’m a medical card holder so would I have to have my medical card in my possession? Or am I on the record? Do I need to bring money with me?

Alternatively, is there a way I could bring it up to a parent? Very embarrassing and just can’t find the courage to do it for months now and it’s playing with my self confidence something shocking

I’m really sorry to hear that it’s playing with your self confidence. So you’re right to get it sorted out.

You say you can’t talk to your parents but why do you say that? If your parents care about your health it won’t matter whether it’s your genitals or your heart or your foot or your arse, they’ll want to help you get it sorted out.

Are you sure you can’t chat with one of them or an aunt or uncle?

‘Mam I have a medical problem and I need your help’. I bet your parent would take it very seriously and do whatever it takes to help you out.

Oh they would. Both fantastic, understand people who have gone out of their way for me more than once. Just not quite sure how to say it, what to say, how to summon the courage

I'd be inclined to mention a problem with my willy to my da rather than my ma...your problem MAY be genetic, so he may have had a similar problem!

Just as a matter of interest, you may benefit from a procedure called "frenuloplasty" in which the banjo string is lengthened..
In many cases, a full formal circumcision isn't required (and even if it is, it's not half as bad as they say it is. Honest!)

Hope everything turns out ok for ya, but I really think you should have a man-to-man with your oul fella....about your little fella!

Just ring up and say you want an appointment. Doctor's receptionists NEVER ask what the problem is and if they did it would be very unprofessional. When speaking to them say youre on a medical card and ask them to see if they have it on record.

But yeah, ultimately it may be better to talk to your parents about it, even if you keep it vague and say that you just have a general pain in your genitals.

No courage needed - it's a medical problem. What's the issue, you'd need to ask how you "found out" about it? Your parents have been teenagers themselves, like myself - we all know what we were "up to" when we were 16 - they willingly "pretend" not to see or understand certain things, but they do ALL TOO WELL

Frankly dad or mom should make no difference - he has a..."tool" just like yours, and she is familiar with the same kind of tool, otherwise you wouldn't be around

As someone who had a similar issue (phymosis), I am well in the know about how much it can affect your confidence, and I will tell you - get it fixed sooner rather than later; You'll be kicking yourself in the sack if you delay it - personally I "waited" until I was 27, pretending it not to be an issue.

Biggest mistake I've ever done!

True that - it can be genetic indeed, but it doesn't necessarily come from the father's side; Mommy can carry the genes even if she doesn't have a sausage down there.

As for circumcision I can concur, it's not nearly as bad as it's made to look. Been..."coverless" for over ten years now, would never go back :D:D

Not beyond the beyonds that your Dad might have had the same problem.

They will know something is worrying you. Best tell them, or one of them if you like.
