Blood Supply to the Foreskin

The inner foreskin is a layer of special skin called 'mucosa'.  It is the name for tissue that is inside the body.  Some examples of mucosal tissue are the inside of the eyelids and mouth etc.  The inner foreskin secretes substances that; lubricate, give off emollients and mild anti-bacterial agents.  The glans or head of the penis is also mucosa but does not have any ability to secrete substances so relies on the inner foreskin to do this.

Tissue that gives off secretions must be fed with the materials to do this with and that is delivered by the blood.  When a circumcision is done the inner and outer layer of foreskin is amputated, the proportions and amount is in the hands of the  circumciser.  As the veins supplying this specialist double layer of skin are crimped or cut off the natural network of flow and return are interrupted permanently and do not re-grow during restoration.  The routes for the blood supply are directed via inferior routes and capillaries.  The flow is therefore severely reduced and so is the ability of the remaining inner foreskin or the restored (expanded) skin to secrete the fluids it was designed to do.  You will see from the following pictures the large dorsal vein and the network of blood vessels branching off to 'feed' the foreskin.

The circumcision of any child without unavoidable medical need is an abuse of human rights of the child and the adult the child will become.  It is a barbaric act of sexual abuse which degrades and shames any society that allows it.
