Is it normal to have heavy bleeding on the second day after a circumcision?

Patient's question:

Okay, here is the translation following your instructions:
The day after I had my circumcision surgery, during the surgery the doctor mentioned that my frenulum was short and performed an extension procedure. There is a little bleeding from the wound. I want to ask if it's serious?

Doctor's answer:

After reading your description of your condition, it is noted that you had a circumcision surgery the second day ago, due to a short frenulum, which required a frenulum lengthening procedure. There was bleeding from the incision.
Generally, wound dressing changes are performed every other day post-surgery to maintain cleanliness and dryness of the incision. Avoid getting the wound wet, and take oral antibiotics to prevent infection. The wound typically heals within 10 days post-surgery. If there is significant bleeding, it is recommended to return to the hospital for follow-up, to change the gauze and check for continued bleeding.
It is widely known that phimosis and paraphimosis can cause significant harm to patients, so it is important to seek treatment as soon as possible. In daily life, pay attention to dietary issues and avoid consuming irritating foods. Maintain a balanced diet. Additionally, follow-up visits may be necessary when required.
