			The frenulum is composed of elastic fibers and is part of the preputial mucosa. It is situated in the ventral midline of the penis and is most prominent when the foreskin is retracted. The frenulum helps to stabilize the position of the foreskin over the glans and assists in the retraction of the foreskin during erection.

			The primary function of the penile frenulum is to aid in the movement of the foreskin over the glans. It also contains a high density of nerve endings, making it one of the most sensitive areas of the penis. This sensitivity contributes to sexual pleasure and arousal.

'''Penile Frenulum'''

The '''[[penile frenulum]]''' or '''frenulum of prepuce of penis''' is an elastic band of tissue under the [[glans penis]] that connects to the [[prepuce]], or foreskin, and helps contract it over the glans. It is comparable to the frenulum found under the tongue.

==Anatomy==

The penile frenulum is located on the ventral side of the penis, beneath the glans. It is a thin, triangular, midline fold of skin that connects the underside of the glans penis to the [[foreskin]]. The frenulum is highly sensitive, containing a rich supply of sensitive nerve endings, which contribute to sexual pleasure.

==Function==

The primary function of the penile frenulum is to assist in the movement of the foreskin. During sexual arousal, the frenulum helps to retract the foreskin from the glans, exposing it to stimulation. It also aids in returning the foreskin to its original position covering the glans after sexual activity or urination.

==Medical Conditions==

Several medical conditions can affect the penile frenulum. These include:

* '''[[Frenulum breve]]''': This condition occurs when the frenulum is too short and restricts the movement of the foreskin. It can cause discomfort during sexual activity and may require treatment.
* '''[[Frenulum tear]] or rupture''': This can occur due to vigorous sexual activity or trauma and may cause significant pain and bleeding.
* '''[[Frenulectomy]] and [[Frenuloplasty]]''': These are surgical procedures performed to lengthen a short frenulum or to repair a torn frenulum.
