Many uncircumcised and some badly circumcised men get diagnosed with a tight or short frenulum. In this case, your glans penis gets pulled downwards when you fully retract the foreskin.
Depending on the urologist, he will either recommend a complete circumcision (which often includes removal of the frenulum) or offer a surgery that lengthens or removes the frenulum.
See my circumcision page why this is a bad idea and you should walk right out of this Urologist's practice.
While the frenulum surgery sounds like a not so bad idea, there are alternatives that are much gentler on your penis.
If you watch videos of frenulum surgery, you will see that they use electrocautery equipment and a lot of sutures. It will take very long for your penis to heal and you may feel irritations after the surgery because so many nerves were cut.
What alternatives are there?
A much gentler method is called "tying the frenulum" as it is described here:

You can do it yourself (but keep the infection risk in mind) or have your general practitioner do it for you if he is open-minded. A urologist will not do it as he wants to sell the much more expensive frenuloplasty.
I personally have not tied, but simply torn my frenulum by slowly pulling on it when it was already slightly torn from intercourse. It was painful, but it didn't bleed too much (you can check with a light against the frenulum where bigger blood vessels are) and healed very quickly. This is in line with findings from other men who found that their frenulum that tore during sex healed within 5 days where guys who had surgery needed 2-3 weeks at least.
Can't I just stretch it?
While stretching the foreskin is really easy and everyone can do it with the stretching rings I mentioned in 2 weeks or less, you need to be truly patient (months to years!) when you want to stretch your frenulum yourself.
I do not recommend it. Just leave it short if it doesn't bother you, tie it off or wait for it to tear naturally once you are too eagerly penetrating a dry vagina or anus.
