What Causes Redness Of Painful Frenulum After Having Oral Sex?

default
Posted on Wed, 28 May 2014
Question: Hi, recently my girlfriend and I have been more intimate than usual. She used her mouth to pleasure my genitals. The next day, and for about a week so far my frenulum has reddened and it feels weird throughout the day. It's not painful or discomforting; it just feels weird. I was wondering if it's something I should be worried about?

Brief Answer:
Does not seem to be anything to worry about.

Detailed Answer:
Hi there.
I read your query with diligence & understand you are young in years from the data provided me.
It is usual to experience some sort of redness & to feel weird after a 'different' experience & perhaps your girlfriend was a touch rough or the process lasted a little longer than usual & the redness is normal to experience.
Give it rest for 48 hrs & handle as little as possible & avoid vigorous washing of the area. It should clear up in 24-48 hrs.
I don't see it as anything to be worried about as you seem to be largely asymptomatic.
Do let me know of the progress over the next 48 hrs.
Good Luck.
