The frenulum may be entirely missing in cases of first degree [[hypospadias]].
It is possible for the frenulum to tear during sexual activities. The [[frenular artery]], a branch of the dorsal artery, may be severed, causing significant [[bleeding]].
In the event of [[frenulum breve]] or frenular chordee, or to ensure that the glans can be freely and completely exposed, the frenulum may be partially or totally removed. It is also often removed in a [[circumcision]].<ref name="Griffin-Kroovand1990">{{REFjournal
