A short tether is when the foreskin is turned over and the foreskin and glans are found to be very short, and when the foreskin is turned upwards, the tether becomes noticeably painful. This type of tether is at risk of rupture during sexual intercourse, or even breakage and bleeding. It is recommended that if there is no sexual intercourse, the foreskin be turned up and the tether stretched regularly to significantly lengthen the tether. If the tether is still very short, you can go to the hospital for tether lengthening surgery. If the tether is too short, it is likely to cause painful intercourse every time you have intercourse, and there is even a risk of rupture and bleeding.
