Mild bleeding after circumcision is typically due to minor vessel oozing or superficial skin tears. The initial management involves simple compression and observation to allow natural clot formation and hemostasis. This approach avoids unnecessary interventions and reduces risk of further trauma or infection. Surgical exploration is reserved for persistent or severe bleeding. Antibiotics and blood transfusion are not indicated unless there is infection or significant blood loss. Prompt pressure application is effective and the safest first step for mild post-circumcision bleeding.
