Had surgery blood around catheter

Had Greenlight laser treatment and seemed to go okay but have strong urge to pee and if I push blood drops come around the catheter.
It's a little scary.
The catheter bag is filling so I guess it's working but afraid of the blood on the outside of the catheter.
Anyone know if this is normal?

I take it out tomorrow

Glen

Thank you Cyclone

The bladder spasms are less frequent and I feel okay. Still have urgency but less and have not seen blood around the catheter. This may be because I am resisting the urge to push.
My big fear as usual is that I get retention again.
It's an outside chance but a chance.
I'll know in a few hours meantime I am drinking a lot of water.

Glen

Thanks.
I took it out. Some mixed bloody, clotted blood with clear urine. I showered and peed a messy dribbling little amount 3 minutes afterwards.
I hope the fact that I peed albeit a small amount is positive.
A little sore but not bad.
Just pray that I am not going to retain.

Cyclone I'm doing some walking but I'm so tired. Slept sitting up due to pain and discomfort.
Now I just sent my wife out to buy some depends. I kinda make it to the bathroom but have some leakage. My guess is this will pass and I'll take a little incontinence over retention any day.
Sorry to keep posting but things are happening since I removed the catheter. I've voided 5 times or more. Some were full of very big clots and blood. Last void was pretty clear
A little painful too.

My thought is that I'm right where I should be 25 hours after surgery.

Thanks for listening. I respect the people and advice here.
ODAAT yep gotta remember that.

Glen

Yes I'm drinking a lot of water. The clots have abated only single line of blood in the urine. I'm very happy to be voiding. Went for a short walk and felt better however, lot's of colic like spasm once I pee.
Sitting hurts but is getting better
I'm wearing pads due to very mild drips.

My main fear of retention is gone. I doubt it will happen but I guess anything is possible.
Taking the catheter out was surprisingly easy.

Thanks for asking

Glen

I've been posting in two threads so I'll update here as well.
Chills at 4am some dribbling accidents on my way to the bathroom but I am handling the urgency well and usually make it.
Still a lot of blood and that presents a problem. I Was supposed to start my blood thinner Xaralto today if urine was pink to clear but still have blood even though it is less.
I Have Afib so I'm at risk for stroke so I really want to go back on Xaralto.
Hopefully tonight it'll clear if not I'll call doctor tomorrow.
Worry about it will not help.
Feel better with mild pain in peritoneal area and after voiding.
I'll walk 3 blocks to the Westside Market and back again. I'll have a depends pad on.
Thanks for reading I hope my Greenlight laser treatment story will be helpful to another down the road.

Glen

Took the trip to the market but took the bus to the market but walked home. So I walked a total of 6 blocks. I feel I can walk some more but got dizzy. Not vertigo dizzy but uncomfortable mild dizzy.
Held urine an hour and a half. Still a mix of straw yellow with tiny bit of blood. I really hope the blood abates. The Xaralto is very important to avoid stroke.
I will call doctor tomorrow morning.
If I have to wait too long to hear back I may just take a chance.
It's a little scary

Glen

Took the blood thinner Xaralto 8pm
To bed at 11pm at 1am blood in the urine
3am voided and had blood but less than at 1am but then pushed to get out more and it was mostly blood so no pushing.
I drank a few ounces of water because I want to go back to sleep without waking up to void too soon
