Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Prostate BPH / July 2006Blood after PVP
It has been 18 days since my PVP. At first my urine was very clear. Now I have some sort of infection and I am taking Cipro 1000mg per day for it. My pee is dark and when I start a stream a very small amount of blood comes out with the pee. Every so often a very small, short red "string" comes out. I assume this is a small clot. However, it is very bright red, not dark like most clots. Does anyone have any experience with blood drops this long after PVP? Any feedback would be appreciated. Does not sound at all unusual based on my own experience. If it persists long term, get it checked. (I am 6 weeks post-PVP.) > It has been 18 days since my PVP. At first my urine was very clear.

[quoted text clipped - 10 lines] > Message posted via MedKB.com > http://www.medkb.com/Uwe/Forums.aspx/prostate-bhp/200607/1 Hey Bill -- I, too, experienced a much longer duration of blood in my urine than the "slick paper" literature seemed to indicate. I had my PVP on May 16 and have been "blood-free" for about 2 weeks. It just stops all at once, which I don't understand, and the urine clears up. I thought the urine would never show a clear stream again -- I just wanted it to get straightened out and move on. I have yet to be released by my doctor (final checkup is July 13). But I am abiding by his instructions to take it easy and not lift anything, etc. I wish that the full story of recovery time had been known by me before going through such an operation at this time. I would have postponed it until winter. Anyway, hope you are doing better and move past this stage of recovery. Thanks for the feedback Otis. I am not sure my blood is coming from anything more serious than a an injured ureathea. Several years ago, I had a great deal of blood in my pee from some sort of wound in my ureathea. It was very bloody, stayed that way for a few weeks, then cleared up. Now it is just a little blood at the start, not much and an occassion small clot of bright red blood. I guess it is the wait and see approach. Thanks again Otis. >Hey Bill -- > [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] >operation at this time.

Any >feedback would be appreciated. I had a TURP a month ago and they kept me in Hospital on Irrigation, rinsing me out with Saline solution for 24 hrs. My tissue was 90% Scar Tissue residual from a HDRB frying 10 mths earlier, so I only noticed a few stringy clots going down the pipe. Persons with "normal" BHP would experience a fair amount of blood loss in the Irrigation period as the "Roto-Rooter" (TURP) is working with live tissue fed by veins. Apparently the PVP process is supposed to cauterise the walls of the Urethra as it works, thereby minimising the loss of blood. This, however, never seems to be true, from one person to another, so you may be pissing bloody cobwebs fro a week or two. HTH -- Reader to complete... -- Please reply to this ng as my email adress is fake: -- Regards -- CC No Clarence, just a little when I start and then it is clear. Passed some huge clods with what seemed like nothing but blood a few years ago. It turned out only to be some sort of wound in the ureathea that cleared up in a week. But it scared me-- this is nothing by comparision, just a few drips. >>It has been 18 days since my PVP. At first my urine was very clear.
