Day 6 circumcision is this normal

apologies for all the posts,

I woken up today in some slight pain and noticed the stitch by my frenulum has been bleeding (spotting) as well as a stitch to the side of my glans.

I’ve applied Vaseline and bandaged the wound advice but I’m beginning to think I may have an infection. When I removed the bandage there’s spotting of blood and a yellowish fluid /discharge that has dried I’m thinking this could be the Vaseline and the lymphatic fluid.

I’m going to ring the GP I’m just wondering if anyone experienced the same

Sounds normal if I am honest, wasn't till about day 10 to 12 everything "dried up" down below for me. Best to check though with GP so doing the right thing but I wouldn't be overly worried at the moment. Reckon it's been movement overnight.

You just got to ride out the first few weeks and then you get an idea what it's going to be like. Let the healing process take place.

You are doing the right thing. If you are worried talk to a doctor. It is fine asking if anyone else has had the same but do not forget that we are all different so it might just be similar rather than the same.

Not what you're looking for?
