What if Parents Notice Bleeding After a Circumcision?

Noticing bleeding after a circumcision can understandably be a cause for concern. 

Here’s a step-by-step guide on what you should do if you encounter this situation:

  1. Stay Calm: It is essential to remain calm and assess the situation carefully. It is occasionally normal to have a bloody nappy when your child passes urine through the dressing. Hence, monitor the colour of the dressing, not the nappy. Also, applying some ice packs in a cloth may help to reduce the mild oozing of the circumcision cut.
  1. Apply Gentle Pressure: Use a clean, soft gauze pad to apply gentle pressure to the affected area. Hold it in place for a few minutes to help stop the bleeding.
  1.  Avoid Fussing with the Area: Avoid disturbing the wound by pulling or tugging at the bandage. Maintaining a stable environment is key to natural healing.
  1.  Monitor the Bleeding: Check if the bleeding stops or reduces significantly after applying pressure.
  1. Contact The Circumcision Doctor, Dr. Ashraf Saddik: If the bleeding continues or is substantial, it is crucial to contact your child’s Circumcision Doctor, Dr. Ashraf Saddik, immediately. We are the best source of guidance tailored to your child’s needs, so don’t hesitate to contact us.
  1.  Seek Emergency Assistance if Necessary: In the rare instance of heavy bleeding that doesn’t improve with pressure, consider calling the Circumcision Doctor, Dr. Ashraf Saddik, on his mobile for prompt treatment. The Circumcision Doctor is happy to assess the bleeding as needed.
  1. By following these steps, parents can effectively address post-circumcision concerns and ensure their child’s comfort and safety.
