→Surgical treatment
== Surgical treatment ==
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.
