Post Circumcision Bleeding

Hey, just wanting some reassurance. I am now 6 days post circumcision and woke up this morning to a noticeable amount of blood on my sheets, but not tonnes. I think some of the stitches may have burst with night erections. When I’m flaccid theres no bleeding at all, which I think is bc the stitches are covered by some foreskin they've left on.

I don't know whether its worth contacting the doctor or not - there doesn't seem to be any sign of infection so all I could see them doing is putting stitches back in. Any advice on what I should do and keeping it clean whilst it heals?

If it is significant then contact your doctor. Make sure you are bandaged and wearing tightish underwear to keep things in place at night.

It’s my 4th day and I also have a little bleeding but stitches seem intact, I hope it’s nothing serious on your side.

Not what you're looking for?
