A member asked:
I'm just wondering, if you were to lose circulation on a body part would it eventually fall off?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It may: Body parts in adults would be tough to "fall off" as one would feel the pain or see the discoloration and seek help hopefully, way before it would be that serious. Some infants may get rubber bands around their toes and they could "fall off" if left unnoticed for days/weeks. In fact, 1 treatment for hemmorhoids is rubber band ligation, which cuts off the blood supply and evntually it falls off.
