Can be normal: If there bleeding in the subcutaneous space (between your skin and the muscle of the belly wall) this can track down with gravity into the penis, scrotum, or down the thighs. If he develops marked swelling, pain or passage of bloody urine, these are reasons to see your surgeon. Icing the area may provide some comfort.
