Hello
Thanks for query .

You have undergone surgery of Circumcision 10 days back and has noticed sticky secretions at the site of surgery .

Glans penis secretes watery mucus to keep itself moist .The sticky liquid that you have noticed is a normal mucus secreted by glans penis and is due to reaction to suture material being used to suture the wound .

It will gradually get resolves as the healing of the wound progresses .

Take antibiotic like Augmentin along with anti inflammatory medicine Diclofenac twice daily .

Ensure to wash your genitals with warm water twice daily and apply topical antibiotic ointment like Neosporin twice daily .

Ensure to avoid sexual encounters till it heals up completely.

There is nothing to be worried about It will heal up completely over a period of 2-3 weeks .
