==Pathology==

[[Frenulum breve]] is a condition in which the frenulum is short and restricts the movement of the [[foreskin]], which may or may not interfere with normal sexual activity. Frenulum breve may be treated by manually [[tissue expansion| expanding]] the shaft skin by [[stretching]]. The condition may also be treated by [[frenuloplasty]], or [[frenectomy]]. Frenulum breve may contribute to frenular chordee, where the glans is pulled toward the vernal body of the penis.
