What Causes Penile Discharge After A Hyrdocelectomy?

Hello I am a 39 year old male now on day 9 postOp from a hyrdocelectomy. I have had two instances where I have had substantial drainage. It is blood, but thinner and clearer than normal.. Is it normal to drain from this procedure, sometimes heavily,(multiple drips from my sutures) and is this a normal color of drainage?

Thanks for asking in healthcaremagic forum

In short: The drain is put expecting the drainage

Explanation: The drain after the surgery is put only if the drainage is expected, so do not worry about the drainage. After it decreases, they will remove it.
Doctors are there to worry about drainage if it abnormal. So, enjoy watching TV in the hospital. Good luck. Get better soon.
