Yellow discharge on stitches

It's been my day 6 and some discharge started appearing more in the stitches,

The first discharge I had was on day 4 is it normal?

Some of my friends says it's a sign of infection and some says it's part of the healing process.

I am very worried about an infection is it normal?

If you are worried about your wound, why don't you contact your local health care provider and ask for them help. I sent you chat message.

I had sown clear discharge as well! Plus the swelling as increased over the past few days (I’m on day 7 after surgery). It looks like I Have a donut around the glans. It’s not painful, but I can definitely feel it’s there. I hope the swelling is going to go down because I’m really worried

Don't worry mate ... Its a part of healing process... Everybody who is circumcised have been through these... Just check if there is any foul smell... Otherwise everything is normal...you are heading towards the right way...

If it's anything other than clear or yellowish then I'd go to a doc asap. Clear/yellow fluid from a wound is normal as that is just lymph. But if your concerned I'd suggest talking to your doc.

Turns out it’s an infection, I managed to get antibiotics from an out of hours gp and contacted my urologist who performed the circumcision and visited me today, he squeezed the hell out of it and now it’s half the size and not painful! So lucky he was ready to see me the following day! Now I can focus back to the healing (god it takes ages!)
