	Frenuloplasty info
		The frenulum (in Latin “little bowstring”) is the small bridge of skin lying from the underside of the tip of the penis to the underside of the foreskin.
		While normally this piece of skin is reasonably long and elastic, in a substantial minority of men it is either too short from the beginning or else develops scarring which makes it prone to tearing and splitting particularly during intercourse.
		A cut is made in the shape of a V which is then gradually loosened and sewn up in the shape of a Y usually increasing the length of the frenulum by around 1 to 1.5cm.

	Ankyloglossia: To Clip or Not to Clip? That’s the Question.
		By definition, a frenulum, which is a small frenum, is a narrow fold of mucous membrane connecting a moveable part to a fixed part.
		If the lingual frenulum is attached high on the gingival ridge behind the lower mandibular incisors, it can pull the gingiva away from the teeth and even cause a mandibular diastema.
		The frenulum is divided with scissors or with electrocautery.

		To visually identify a frenulum breve and its effects, when erect, involves the carrier in what are to him unnatural contortions.
		Urologists assume that the frenulum breve started causing pain or difficulty first as an adult during sexual intercourse and previously it had been no problem, - they are unaware that the patient has avoided this pain during masturbation throughout his development years.
		The ripping of the frenulum is an event which is often accompanied by pain and profuse bleeding.

	Frenulum breve - no reason for circumcision
		The frenulum is cut vertically and the two tiny flaps of skin that this creates are sewn into the foreskin with a couple of stitches.
		The effects of frenulum breve during erection is that when the foreskin is retracted and then let go, the foreskin slides or moves forward again.
		during erection the short frenulum pulls the foreskin forward, intercourse, masturbation and ejaculation often causes the foreskin to be pulled backwards.

	LLLI \| Tongue-Tie and Breastfeeding
		Tongue-tie or ankyloglossia (from the Greek for “crooked tongue”) is the condition where the lingual frenulum, the band of tissue that attaches the tongue to the floor of the mouth, restricts tongue movement.
		Breastfeeding difficulties caused by tongue-tie are usually proportional to the tightness of the frenulum, the shortness of the free tongue, and the flexibility of the floor of the mouth.
		Even with a complete tongue-tie where the frenulum attaches to the tongue tip, the baby might be able to breastfeed without treatment if the floor of the mouth is flexible and can be pulled up to allow more tongue movement, but the compensations involved are fatiguing and make feeding less efficient.

	Ask Lenore ~ Breastfeeding ~ Ankyloglossia (tongue-tie) and breastfeeding
		Ankyloglossia ('tongue-tie', short frenulum) is observed in newborns and children when the lingual frenulum is too short and attached to the very tip of the tongue, limiting its normal movements.
		Tongue-tie is the result of a short fibrous lingual frenulum or a highly attached genioglossus muscle 4, affecting from 0.02% to 4.4% of newborn infants 11-13.
		The lingual frenulum usually becomes less prominent as a natural process of the child's growth and development, when the alveolar ridge grows in height and the teeth begin to erupt 9.

	Fraenulum praeputii frenulum breve taboos. frenulum and foreskin problems, frenulum and male initiation
		On normal men, the frenulum itself appears to be usually not very sensitive, however the area around the frenulum is often claimed to be the most sensitive on the penis.
		An interesting fact is that some anatomically normal men pull on their frenulum as a form of masturbation, (this was reported by Bryk, by Kinsey, and men who I interviewed).
		If an incision is made in the frenulum breve at an early age, there is every reason to believe (especially with a thin frenulum), that the remaining tiny hanging flaps of skin, will simply recede into the shaft skin and the glans.

		The frenulum (also: fraenulum or frenum) connects the foreskin on the underside of the penis to the glans.
		If the frenulum is too short, in order to get a well functioning penis (for those men who don't need a circumcision for medical reasons or those who simply don't want it), frenuloplasty is an alternative.
		The foreskin was not obstructed by the frenulum when the penis was erect.

		It is said that midwives used to keep one fingernail sharp for the purpose of cutting the frenulum loose to aid breastfeeding.
		Numbing the frenulum with a topical gel would cause inability to nurse after the procedure, which is comforting to the baby while clamping down the site to decrease any bleeding that may occur.
		Sometimes the frenulum is very vascular and thick or anchored totally to the floor of the mouth, and in these cases, surgery (frenectomy) would be more extensive and require hospitalization and anesthesia.

	Tongue Tied -- eCureMe.com
		Numerous newborn babies have a strand of tissue (frenulum) underneath the tongue that anchors the tip of the tongue to the floor of the mouth.
		Many years ago it was common to have a minor surgical procedure to clip the frenulum, with the intention of preventing breast-feeding problems and speech problems.
		If the frenulum can "stretch," or is very thin, as it usually is, the tongue can protrude past the gum line, even if the baby appears to have a short frenulum.

	Frenulectomy (Tongue-tie surgery) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		Tongue-tie is a condition in which the free movement of the tongue is restricted due to abnormal attachment of lingual frenulum towards the tip of the tongue.
		The frenulum may be too short and taut, or it may be attached too far along the base of the tongue.
		Overall, the procedure of cutting the lingual frenulum is relatively simple, and babies may breastfeed immediately afterwards.

		With frenulum the restriction is underneath the glans, so as the outer foreskin is pulled back a good centimeter or more of inner foreskin turns over above, but now look underneath and you see the restriction staring to pull the glans downwards.
		When the foreskin is retracted as far as possible even minor degrees of frenulum breve will bend the glans at a obviously distorted angle to the shaft of the phallus.
		The frenulum may be so extremely short that it is non-existent, and connects the foreskin directly to the glans beneath the urinary opening.

		Adults may still feel the remnant of their lip (labial) frenulum, which is what is left of the cord located between the center of the upper lip and the center of the upper gum.
		Tongue-tie is a condition in which the free movement of the tongue is restricted due to abnormal attachment of the base of the tongue (lingual frenulum) towards the tip of the tongue.

	Tongue-Tie
		Tongue-tie (ankyloglossia) is a birth defect in which the tissue that attaches the tongue to the bottom of the mouth (lingual frenulum) is abnormally short.
		The lingual frenulum stretches as the child grows or adapts to the tongue restriction.
		If your child has tongue-tie, you may choose to wait and see whether his or her lingual frenulum stretches on its own or whether surgery may be needed to release the tongue.

	AfraidToAsk.com Bulletin Board: What is this thing coming off my penis?
		The piece stems from the tip of the penis (where the piss comes out...dont know what else to call it) and travels to the underside of my penis (sticks out just as the glans ends), where there is a protruding line (sticks out from the rest of the penis) of skin/scab/stitch formation.
		Since the frenulum goes between the penis head and the foreskin, it has to be cut to remove the foreskin, and its being too short should no longer be a problem.
		As much as it's a matter of spoilt milk, a tight frenulum could have been relieved with cutting just it (if we're talking about surgeries), and a foreskin that can go back except during erection is not whatsoever an indication for a required circumcision -- bit instead could have been solved by other means.

	Tongue-Tie
		It results when the frenulum (the band of tissue that connects the bottom of the tongue to the floor of the mouth) is too short and tight, causing the movement of the tongue to be restricted.
		The tongue plays an important role in breastfeeding, and if the baby's frenulum is so short that his tongue can't extend over the lower gum, he may end up compressing the breast tissue between his gums while he nurses, which can cause severe damage to the nipples.
		Even though clipping the frenulum is a simple, safe, and uncomplicated procedure, it may be difficult to find a doctor who is willing to perform it.

	International Breastfeeding Journal \| Full text \| Reliability of the Hazelbaker Assessment Tool for Lingual Frenulum ...
		The Academy of Breastfeeding Medicine Protocol defines partial ankyloglossia as "the presence of a sublingual frenulum which changes the appearance and/or function of the infant's tongue because of its decreased length, lack of elasticity or attachment too distal beneath the tongue or too close to or onto the gingival ridge" [[2] p1].
		In infants aged up to about three months, clinicians have found that it is safe to release the frenulum with a small pair of sterile scissors when the infant having difficulty breastfeeding is found to have a tight frenulum comprised of a thin membrane [7].
		In the group of infants assessed for tongue-tie, we expected approximately 75% of infants to be scored as recommending frenulum release (from previous study) [11].
