→Surgical treatment: Install paragraph break.
== 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.
[[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 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.
