Abstract
A supernumerary frenulum on the dorsal aspect of the penis, without penile torsion, is a rare condition. The present case report presents a 29-year-old male who experienced pain during sexual intercourse. He noticed a band of tissue on the underside of his foreskin that prevented the retraction of his prepuce during his first attempted sexual intercourse. The present case illustrates a supernumerary frenulum, which is an additional band of tissue on the dorsal side of the penis, alongside the normally positioned frenulum. It is a natural anatomical variation. The high prevalence of neonatal religious circumcision and general ignorance likely contribute to the under-reporting of this anomaly. This condition can significantly impact an individual’s sexual life and personal hygiene. The present case was aimed to enhance understanding of the embryology, prevalence, clinical implications and management of this anomaly.
