→Symptoms and diagnosis: Delete reference for circumcision
== Symptoms and diagnosis ==
Frenulum breve may be complicated by tearing of the frenulum during sexual or other activity and is a cause of [[dyspareunia]]. It may lead to erroneous labelling of the sufferer as having psychosexual problems.<ref>Whelan. Male dyspareunia due to short frenulum: an indication for adult circumcision. ''BMJ'' 1977; 24-31: 1633-4</ref> The torn frenulum may result in healing with scar tissue that is less flexible after the incident causing further difficulties.{{Citation needed|date=February 2012}} However, this tearing can also solve the problem, healing such that the frenulum is longer and therefore no longer problematic.{{Citation needed|date=February 2012}} The diagnosis of frenulum breve is almost always confused with that of [[phimosis]] and a generally [[tight foreskin]], since the symptom is difficulty retracting the foreskin. Most men with phimosis also have frenulum breve to a certain extent.<ref>{{REFweb
