Frenulum breve either will prohibit complete retraction of the foreskin behind the [[glans penis]] or it will cause the foreskin to bunch up directly behind the [[corona]].
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 labeling of the sufferer as having psychosexual problems. The torn frenulum may result in healing with scar tissue that is less flexible after the incident causing further difficulties. However, this tearing can also solve the problem, healing such that the frenulum is longer and therefore no longer problematic. 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 may also have frenulum breve to a certain extent.<ref>{{REFweb

== Surgical treatment ==
[[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 some rapacious doctors will be quick to recommend circumcision. Let the patient beware of such practices and protect his multi-functional, protective, erogenous [[foreskin]].
