Is bleeding 6 days after frenuloplasty procedure normal?
Patient: Hi I had a frenuloplasty 6 days ago and I hadn t noticed any bleeding since the second day. I ve been bathing every pulling the foreskin back to clean the area and today I noticed a lot of blood compared to previously their are also white patches along the stitches line which I m assuming is normal. Was just wondering if I should still be bleeding after 6 days or not?? Doctor: Hi,Frenuloplasty is the release of a fold of skin on the underside of the penis. It is done to decrease pain during sexual intercourse. A dressing is not necessary, but it is normal for the wound to bleed or ooze slightly for a few days. You can have a shower after 24 hours and usually a dressing in not indicated until your inner clothes are getting soiled.Usually it stops bleeding 2 - 3 days after frenuloplasty as mentioned by you. The bleeding on day 6 can be falling away of the scab. This is a single event and one must not worry. If it bleeds continuously then it can become a concern and you must talk to your surgeon.
