The infant should be observed for urination after the circumcision.Bleeding is a common complication after circumcision.The nurse will check the penis for 12 hours after a circumcision to assess and provide appropriate interventions for prevention and treatment of bleeding.Yellow exudates cover the glans penis within 24 hours after the circumcision.This is part of normal healing and not an infective process.The PlastiBell remains in place for about a week and falls off when healing has taken place.
