Generally affecting children, the affliction can cut off the blood flow, requiring patients to undergo surgery — and even amputation.
In fact, the tallywacker tourniquet was so constricting that it had compressed the member down to 1 centimeter in diameter. It also “completely divided” his urethra, per the study. “The reality is that this could’ve been avoided if the patient were to be undertaking suitable penile hygiene and washing beneath his foreskin regularly,” said one doctor.Fearing irreparable damage to the man’s penis, doctors snipped the obstructing hair and prepared to carry out an operation to save the remaining tissue. They then informed the patient that he could potentially lose part of his member if the wounds didn’t heal properly.
