Why Baby is bleeding after circumcision?

There are a few possible reasons why a baby might bleed after circumcision.

* Trauma to the penis. The procedure of circumcision involves removing a portion of the foreskin, which can cause some bleeding. This bleeding is usually minimal and stops on its own within a few days.

* Infection. In some cases, the circumcision site can become infected, which can lead to bleeding. Signs of infection include redness, swelling, and drainage from the penis.

* Bleeding disorder. In rare cases, a baby may have a bleeding disorder that can cause them to bleed excessively after circumcision. This is more likely to occur in babies who have a family history of bleeding disorders.

If your baby is bleeding after circumcision, it is important to call your doctor so that they can determine the cause and recommend the best course of treatment.
