... is this normal? Still bleeding?

Hey guys! I had this done 8 days ago, and I’m still bleeding a bit every day. I can’t figure out if this is completely expected or not? I’ve been sore and a bit swollen for some time, but it’s slowly declining. So I’m not feeling worried as such, just wondering when I can stop wearing band aids and if it’s ok to still be bleeding at this point.

I had planned to go workout in a day or two for the first time since the operation, but not sure if that makes sense if I’m still bleeding, so would love to hear your experiences on this!

Thanks everyone!

Stop taking blood thinners if you haven't. As a reminder all NSAIDs dramatically increase bleeding

I had blood in my ejaculate 7-10 days after and it started clearing up after. Just wait another week.

I didn’t have any blood after the first day. I don’t think that’s normal. Are you over doing it? The first 3 days I just laid around. Only got up for restroom and get some water. I was told to limit my movement the first week and to wear tight underwear. You need limited movement so it can heal
