The diagnosis of short frenulum syndrome (frenulum breve) can be made by a physical examination, where the doctor will look for a short or tight frenulum that restricts the movement of the penis. In some cases, the doctor may also perform imaging tests, such as an ultrasound, to determine the extent of the problem.

• Urine Test: A urine test is a routine test that checks for any underlying health conditions or infections that may pose a risk during the procedure. The test may also check for urinary tract infections (UTIs) or other issues with the urinary system. The cost of a urine test for Frenuloplasty can range from ₹100 to ₹350.
• Swab Test: A swab test involves taking a sample of tissue or fluids from the genital area to check for sexually transmitted infections (STIs) or other infections that may pose a risk during the procedure. The cost of a swab test for Frenuloplasty can range from ₹500 to ₹700.
• Blood Test to measure blood sugar level: This blood test measures the level of glucose in the blood to check for diabetes or other conditions that may affect the healing process after the procedure. It is important to check blood sugar levels before Frenuloplasty to reduce the risk of complications during the procedure. The cost of this blood test can range from ₹400 to ₹800.
• HIV Serology: This blood test checks for the presence of antibodies to HIV, the virus that causes AIDS. Frenuloplasty is a surgical procedure that involves cutting or modifying tissue, so it is important to check for HIV before the procedure to minimize the risk of infection. The cost of an HIV serology test for Frenuloplasty can range from ₹500 to ₹1000.
• Physical Examination of the Genitalia: This is done by a healthcare provider and may be included in the cost of the initial consultation.
• Syphilis test (if necessary): A syphilis test may be required to rule out any underlying medical conditions. The cost of a syphilis test may vary depending on the type of test required but may range from ₹500 - ₹3000.

Cost factors responsible for varying costs of Frenuloplasty are:

• Medical history: The cost of Frenuloplasty may vary based on the patient's medical history, including previous surgeries, pre-existing conditions, and current medication regimes. The surgeon may need to adjust the surgical approach or medication, increasing the cost.
• Location and size of incision: Depending on the location and size of the incision, the cost of Frenuloplasty may vary. A larger incision may require more time and effort, thus increasing the cost.
• Surgeon's expertise: The surgeon's expertise and experience may also affect the cost of Frenuloplasty. More experienced surgeons tend to charge more than less experienced ones.
• Anesthesia: Frenuloplasty may be performed with local or general anesthesia, and the type of anesthesia used can affect the cost.
• The severity of the condition: The severity of the Short frenulum syndrome condition may influence the cost of Frenuloplasty. A more severe case may require a longer surgical procedure or additional medications, increasing the cost.
• Hospital stay: A longer hospital stay may increase the overall cost of Frenuloplasty, depending on the policies of the hospital or surgical center.
• Additional expenses: There may be additional expenses associated with Frenuloplasty, such as the costs of prescription medication, physical therapy, or follow-up appointments.
• Post-operative care: The cost of Frenuloplasty may also depend on the post-operative care provided to the patient. The surgeon may recommend specific medications, physical therapy, or follow-up appointments, which can add to the overall cost.

Depending on the surgeon, the facility, and the intricacy of the operation, costs might vary greatly.
