The condition may be treated with surgery.  There are several different techniques to treat this condition.  Threading a suture through the lower membrane, and then tying a tight knot around the frenulum itself is a procedure that minimizes invasive action. After a few days the frenulum will weaken and eventually break apart to allow the prepuce to fully retract.  Other procedures involve the cutting of the [[skin]] and require the use of sutures to help in the healing process.  Alternatively, it may be treated by a reparative [[plastic surgery]] operation called a [[frenuloplasty]]., or resection of the frenulum ([[frenectomy]]).

The negative aspect of surgical treatment is possible damage or loss of the frenulum, which some men consider a highly erogenous area of their genitals.
