'''Frenulum breve''' or a short frenulum, is a condition in which the [[frenulum]], which is an elastic band of tissue under the [[glans penis]] that connects to the [[foreskin|prepuce]] (foreskin) and helps contract the [[foreskin| prepuce]] over the glans, is short and restricts the movement of the prepuce. The [[frenulum]] should normally be sufficiently long and supple to allow for the full retraction of the prepuce so that retracts behind the [[glans penis]] of the erect [[penis]]. If frenulum breve prevents retraction of the prepuce, then it may be mistaken for [[phimosis]].

[[Adolescent and adult circumcision| Circumcision]] of adolescent and adult males provides a substantial fee for surgery to the surgeon. Circumcision is ''not'' necessary to treat simple frenulum breve, however [[Issues_with_American_urologists_and_the_practice_of_male_circumcision#Issues_with_care_of_adult_intact_males| some rapacious doctors will be quick to recommend circumcision]]. Let the patient beware of such practices and protect his multi-functional, protective, erogenous [[foreskin]]. [[Adolescent and adult circumcision| Circumcision]] should be the last option — to be used only after all conservative treatments fail.
