If you are having difficulty retracting your foreskin and suspect that your frenulum (the small band of tissue that connects the foreskin to the underside of the penis) is too short, it's recommended that you see a doctor, preferably a urologist or a general practitioner. Your doctor will perform a physical examination to determine the cause of your condition
