Hello, it has been 12 days since my circumcision and I started noticing that my penis is leaving brownish-reddish stains on my underwear. I will wake up and the stains will be on my underwear( sometimes, my penis will get slightly stuck on the areas where the stains are). Is this a common problem and, if so, how to I remedy this.

Stains on my underwear
So I am experiencing the same thing. I am 3 weeks post op. For me its the liquid that comes from the scarring. From what I read online, and note I am not an expert in any form, its your bodies way of healing the wound. What I do in my case is pull the skin where incision is slightly back without any real force and drain the liquid on a sterilized gauze through the day.
Lastly I do recommend u take a shower before going to bed and cleaning the incision area with just water. Just to drain or clean any stickiness from the liquid.
It was very heavy in beginning for me and now after nearly 2 weeks of this liquid, I am draining a very small amount each day.
The staining is probably just from the wound and nothing to worry about. Using Vaseline or non stick dressing will reduce chance of you sticking to underwear.
