Changes

At birth, the [[foreskin ]] is adhered to the [[glans ]] by a [[synechia]] like a nail to a finger. ''Peri'ah'' (a Hebrew word that means "opening") is a second stage that was later added to the original milah procedure, which involves ripping the adhering mucous membrane from the glans, and removing foreskin as far as the base of the [[glans]] (AKA the corona) so that it is completely and permanently exposed. <ref>{{REFbook
