In addition, the foreskin ring is automatically shed, the time has come, the melon is ripe, do not take the foreskin ring on your own, I once encountered a family 2 days after surgery, their own foreskin ring removed the affected child led to hemorrhage, foreskin completely cracked case. There are also cases where children may not know the importance of the foreskin ring, and some naughty partners find it fun to press the operated child down to remove the foreskin ring.
