>>I just had the surgery performed on Friday, and it is now early Tuesday morning (before going to bed). I have felt some uncomfort due to the stiches left in, however when i retracted my foreskin, there was some mild bleeding. Im unsure whether this was from the stiches rubbing or the actual cuts from the surgery. Is this normal to be happening after 4-5 days.
When cutting the frenulum also the little blood-vessel is cut. The cut vein will bleed if not closed properly by cauterizing. If the frenulum is tied up with clips or threads there’s no problem with bleeding. It’s a pity that urologists prefer cutting: it’s faster, but often some bleeding occurs afterwards (within the first week). It’s very normal though, don’t worry. If you had ripped it, the bleeding would stop spontaneously too. If the bleeding doesn’t stop within some days or it is extremely strong, visit your doctor again.
