Hi all,
I’m 2 days off being 4 weeks post robotic surgery. I had quite a few post op complications, including internal bleeding needing a transfusion.
I passed blood and tiny “bits” in my urine every day since coming home then about 5 or so days ago the toilet bowl was a deep dark claret after urination. Since that there has been nothing visible in the bowl, so I thought that last episode was the bleeding swan song…until today.
I started to pass blood again this morning, just slight rose coloured urine, nothing major …then just now a 1cm blood clot came out whilst passing urine. I definitely felt it exit and it was a bit of a shock as it’s by far the biggest thing I’ve passed since surgery.
Is this normal after nearly 4 weeks since surgery?
Do I need to call the hospital or is it just a case of drinking plenty of water and keeping an eye on it?
Where does all the blood and clots come from? I thought the only thing that will have bled into the bladder is the “cut and shunt” from the urethra…can it really produce so much blood and debris?
Any info you can share would be very gratefully received.
Thank you
Greg.
