==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.
In addition, circumcision severs veins on the dorsal side of the shaft which return blood to the heart. This frequently results in post-circumcision [[lymphoedema]] due to the reduction in blood circulation.
