Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Prostatitis / September 2004post urethrotomy - worried
hi all I had a urethrotomy to correct a 2cm stricture on 1st september. A catheter was left in for 36 hours following the operation and the urine was pretty clear until this point. I'm now home but I notice several ml's of blood after each urination. The bleeding only happens *after* urinating. (urine is clear). The doctor says this will pass in time but it has done nothing to allay my concerns. I'm very worried and looking for reassurances from anyone who has had the procedure done? When will the bleeding stop? hi mark - bleeding will probably stop in the next few days. it's happening from the passing of urine stretching the area that was worked on and causing a little bleeding, but as it heals, there will be less and less bleeding. ~ curtis knowledge is power - growing old is mandatory - growing wise is optional "Many more men die with prostate cancer than of it.
