* Meatal stenosis, a pathological narrowing of the opening of the urethra, which mostly occurs in infancy and early childhood. It is one of the most common complications of infant circumcision. A study from 2006 found meatal stenosis exclusively in previously circumcised boys. The incidence rate after a circumcision is at approximately 10%.<ref>{{REFjournal |last=Van Howe |first=R.S. |title=Incidence of meatal stenosis following neonatal circumcision in a primary care setting |journal=Clin Pediatr (Phila) |note=Jan-Feb 2006 |date=2006-01 |volume=45 |issue=1 |pages=49-54 |url=https://www.academia.edu/6992015/Incidence_of_Meatal_Stenosis_following_Neonatal_Circumcision_in_a_Primary_Care_Setting |accessdate=2019-12-15}}</ref><ref>{{REFjournal |last=Stenram |first=A. |last2=Malmfors |first2=G. |last3=Okmian |first3=L. |title=Circumcision for [[phimosis]]: a follow-up study |journal=Scandinavian journal of urology and nephrology |date=1986 |volume=20 |issue=2 |pages=89 |url= |pubmedID=3749823 |accessdate=}} </ref><ref>{{REFweb |url=http://emedicine.medscape.com/article/1016016-overview |title=Meatal Stenosis |publisher=Medscape |accessdate=2019-10-11}}</ref>
* Knot formation of the veins. If the dorsal vein, which originates in the tip of the [[foreskin]], is cut during circumcision without being clamped and sutured at its origin separately, it starts to develop new branches over time, which can lead to the development of knots.
* Possible deformities due to circumcision include hypoplasia of the [[penis]] (micro-penis) and induratio [[penis]] plastica (skewed penis).
* [[Lymphoedema]] of the penis is a normal and expected complication of male circumcision.

* In boys circumcised in childhood, post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) could be diagnosed. In a study on Philippine boys, in whom no PTSD was found prior to the operation, 69% of the boys circumcised in the traditional ritual and 51% of those circumcised by standard medical procedures (including anaesthesia) fulfilled the DSM-IV criteria for PTSD following the operation.<ref>{{REFbook
