I had my surgery last Friday and today is Wednesday. I've had blood in my urine once on Sunday and perhaps one other time. No big deal. Today, I'm having blood all the time. I feel fine and keep expecting it to clear up, but after 6 hours it's still there. Perhaps a bit lighter this time.

I still have the catheter, of course, and haven't had any issues or discomfort. Any thoughts?

Its normal my friend. But if it keeps up until catheter removal be sure and mention it to the doc.

Glad all has gone so well for you.
You are one lucky man to have Debralyn by your side through this!!

Thanks, Alephnull.

You are so right about Debralyn. She has taken amazing care of me all through this process. Believe me, I count my blessings every day with her.

Jeff,
It is good to see you up and about and on HW. As far as the blood in the urine, it is something to watch and if it doesn't change for the better in a reasonable amount of time, it might be good to call the Dr. or his nurse and get their feedback.

Again, welcome aboard.
Michael

Jeff, good to see you here, and up and about. As others have said, very normal. From my experience, you could see blood clots in your pee for 6 weeks after surgery , maybe even a bit longer.

Thanks, Pratoman. I had very little blood, and then quite a bit today. I'm increasing my water intake. Any thoughts on avoiding coffee or anything like that? I've cut way back, but I could always cut it out. Coffee didn't seem to make any difference in the first days.

Jeff, I was told to stay away from caffeine. As I recall, I did so for a couple of weeks, then I bought the half caf ‘-cups and stuck with that for a few months, if you can, best to stay away from anything caffeinated, as well as alcohol, just for a while.

Good advice. I do not drink alcohol, so that’s no problem. I do love my coffee, but am limiting it greatly. Thanks.
