Should I be worried?

... is this normal?

So… I think this ok. But I wanna check to be sure.

Snipped 1 week ago. Scalpel free job.

Went in with a hydrocele. Warned the doc. He said he’d probably end up clipping it so if I got a lot of swelling a bruising not to worry.

I got A LOT of swelling and my dick looks like a purple furby. So far so expected.

But I just looked at my jocks tonight and they’re covered in spotting from the incision site.

My week of recovery had been relatively solid manual labour. Self employed. Launching a new site. Rest is just out as a result.

Guessing the moving etc will lead to a slower closing of the wound. But with the swelling going down it ag least seems ok. Very minimal pain at any point post procedure.

All good, or possible problem?

Would prefer not to go bothering the doc unnecessarily!
