==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 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.
The [[frenulum ]] may be entirely missing in cases of first degree [[hypospadias]].
It is possible for the frenulum to tear during sexual activities. The frenular artery, a branch of the dorsal artery, may be severed, causing significant [[bleeding]].
