Ischemia of the glans penis is a complication of circumcision.[1]
Disruption of blood circulation
Male circumcision frequently includes excision of the frenulum, which carries the frenular artery. The frenular artery supplies arterial blood to to the glans penis, so the excission of the frenulum reduces the supply of arterial blood to the glans penis.
Circumcision also disrupts the return flow of blood to the heart. Veins in the prepuce provide "at least part of the drainage of the glans surface."[2] Moreover, the dorsal veins from the acroposthion are severed and excised by circumcision. This frequently results in post-circumcision lymphoedema due to the reduction in blood circulation. Ferhatoglu et al. (2019) reported edema in 108 of 198 patients or 54.5 percent, indicating substantial impairment of circulation.[3]
