Why Would a Frenectomy be Necessary in Gynecology?
A frenectomy may be necessary for several reasons:
1. Dyspareunia (Painful Intercourse): A tight or restrictive frenulum can cause pain during sexual activity. Removing or modifying the frenulum can alleviate this discomfort.
2. Chronic Irritation or Infections: A frenulum that causes chronic irritation can make the area more susceptible to infections. Frenectomy can help in reducing these risks.
3. : Some women may opt for a frenectomy for aesthetic reasons, seeking a more symmetrical or visually appealing appearance.
