Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Prostate Cancer / July 2008Two Weeks After Robotic Surgery
Everything going well but started noticing blood after urinating. At the very end there are drops of blood. Not really any discomfort, not anymore than usual anyway. Is this normal? I admit I had started going back to a normal routine, grocery shopping, bathing my 2 year old son, driving etc. Those routines involved lifting. My son weighs 30 pounds. Could that be the cause? I am worried about the sutures between the bladder neck and the urethra. Should I be? Can't contact my physician until Monday. Thanks in advance for any replies. My euro told me that if I saw blood, I was doing too much. Lifting? I think I'd start there. Then, driving - I wasn't supposed to drive far, ride airplanes, trains, or buses for 6 weeks after. I pretty much didn't drive more than 38 miles one-way (distance to my friend's house) and otherwise I took it real easy. DM >Everything going well but started noticing blood after urinating.

After any sort of abdominal surgery, be it male or female, you are not to lift anything heavier than a glass of wine for 6 weeks. Nor drive, etc. For the simple reason that we use those lower abdominal muscles for a lot more than we realize. And if you had to slam on the brakes suddenly, I should imagine you would do some fair to middling damage. Heather > My euro told me that if I saw blood, I was doing too much.

I agree. Leave the child lifting to someone else for a while. And don't drive until everything is healed. Things can be jarred loose in a sudden stop. Thanks for the reply. I am planning to take it easy for the nest few days and hope it clears up.

I'm surprised doctors don't tell their patients about it. Yes, it is absolutely normal.

Well, I passed blood _clots_, which the fellow that did my cystosopy said he saw in there even before the catheter was out, but no actual bleeding occurred during the recovery. Of course, I did a lotta sitting around. Didn't lift much, didn't drive far. Worked for me. |
