How Can One Confirm Frenulum Breve In A Child?

Our 4 year old, but very tall grandson spends a lot of time grabbing his crotch. There is no rash or other sign of irritation. How would I check for frenulum breve? Is that a logical cause?

Thanks, but we will try another source which we are already paying for. Another time perhaps.

Pediatrician 's  Response
It is clinically diagnosis.The diagnosis of frenulum breve is almost always confused with that of phimosis and a generally tight foreskin, since the symptom is difficulty retracting the foreskin. Most men with phimosis also have frenulum breve to a certain extent.
