Brief Answer:
Bleeding is from residual prostate and rough surface from resected area.

Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for query.
Your father has undergone surgery of TURP for enlarged prostate 4 days back and now having bleeding (Blood clots in bladder).

It is common to have bleeding from raw surface from where prostate is resected and normally it gets resolved within 3-4 days.

Looking at the ultrasound finding of residual prostate of the volume of 38 cc it is likely that he is bleeding from this residual prostate too.

Please keep him under observation of Urologist and you can expect bleeding to stop spontaneously.with antibiotics ,.continuous irrigation with saline which may take 3-4 more days .If necessary he may require to undergo small procedure of evacuation of clots from bladder.

Once the things are settled and if he still persists to have obstructive voiding urinary symptoms he may need to undergo second sitting of TURP to resect residual prostate.

Hope I have answered your query. If you have any more questions please feel free to ask me I shall be happy to help you .
Thanks and Regards.

Second set prostrate surgery also done. Now is it seems to third surgery? How about cyst?Is it risky

Answered by Dr. Dr. P. T. Patil (25 minutes later)

Brief Answer:
Please provide details of surgeries done so far

Detailed Answer:
.Hello
Thanks for follow up.
You have not mentioned about second surgery in your query posted earlier.

Please provide details whether scanning and the report that you have posted was done after first surgery or second surgery.

If he has residual prostate of 38 cc even after going through second surgery and he still persists to have obstructive voiding symptoms there is no option but to go for surgery.

As regards cyst in the kidney .It is benign cyst mostly from the birth and do not need any treatment .

Thanks and Regards.

Hello Dr,

Sorry for missing information.

First there was a surgery for prostrate enlarge. Later there was health issues started such as vomiting, fever, and problem in urination.We admitted him in hospital than later scan was done in that it was there was a clot and Dr did a procedure and removed it but there was no improvement. Again there was a scan and later they did a prostrate surgery. Today they did another scan where it is showing clot. I am not understanding why this happening repeatedly. what is best solution for it. In a month 3 times surgery being done and not solving the problem. Can you suggest is there any surgery failed issues. He is saying he is feeling weak and his sodium level also getting down. Can you please suggest what needs to be done.

Answered by Dr. Dr. P. T. Patil (2 hours later)

Brief Answer:
It seems that Evacuation of blood dlots done twice after first surgery

Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for follow up and uploading reports .

To summarize I would recapitulate
He was operated for TURP and developed retention of urine due to blood clots which was evacuated endoscopically on 12 XXXXXXX

He again had bleeding and had blood clots and the clots were evacuated again on 17 th XXXXXXX

His recent ultrasound scan reveals residual prostate of size of 35 cc.
The surgeries done twice after first surgery were done to remove the blood clot and not for removing (Resecting ) the residual prostate .His recent scan still reveals residual prostate of size of 35 cc If he still has obstructing voiding symptoms it may need to be resected at later date once his present condition is stabilized.

These are known complications of TURP surgery that we urologist face once in a while.

Do not worry your father will recover fully within one month time .
Thanks and Regards.

What you have to ensure is that he drinks more water .

Continue taking antibiotics and Soda-mint tablets to increase his sodium levels.

Hello Sir,

I am back with my queries.
My father was under medication with Pause-500 and Punox. After we stopped he is getting very mid level of blood in urine from past 3 days. Can you suggest what needs to be done. Is it something serious?What could be reason for this to happened?

Answered by Dr. Dr. P. T. Patil (20 minutes later)

Brief Answer:
It is normal to have slight bleeding after 3 weeks of surgery.

Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for follow up.
During healing of a raw area created by removing prostate scab is formed as a protective covering over the resected surface.This scab starts getting shade off between 3-4 weeks after surgery by which time healing has took place .The shading off of this scab causes slight bleeding from the surface .

There is nothing to be worried about .

Ensure he drinks more water and take mild antibiotics like Norfloxacin twice daily fr a week.

Thanks and Regards.

I am worried for his health? Please suggest me.

Answered by Dr. Dr. P. T. Patil (1 hour later)

Brief Answer:
Read detail answer below.

Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for writing again.
I know the detail history of your father and the complications he has gone through after TURP surgery.

I shall be happy if you can provide me few more details to make precise comments
1) Can he hold on his urine or there is constant leakage of urine ( Incontinence of Urine) ?
2) Does he have normal urine flow and there is intermittent leakage of small amount of urine ?
3) Does he have urgency?

There are three known landmarks after the surgery of TURP . These are 3 days ,3 weeks and 3 months
1) 3 Days -When there are high chances of bleeding
2) 3 weeks -When there is possibility of bleeding (Hematuria) due to separation of scab formed over resected area of prostate .
3) 3 months -There is always recurrent infection .

Urine culture report done very recently suggests that he has UTI due to E-Coli organisms sensitive to Norfloxacin .This may be perhaps is the cause of leakage of urine

Please give him Norfloxacin twice daily for 2 more weeks .This will help to control infection.

Ask him to perform perineal exercises (Kegel Exercises) .This exercise will help him to strengthen his urethral sphincter which will help to regain control of urination and gradually resolve the problem of leakage of urine .You can surf on internet how to do Kegel Exerccises.

I can understand your anxiety and concerns for your father but I can assure you that he will be normal within few weeks to come .

Thanks and Regards.

Thank you for understanding my concern.

Ans on the below question:

1) Can he hold on his urine or there is constant leakage of urine ( Incontinence of
Urine) ?

Leakage is not constant . It is few times a day. He is able to hold urine

2) Does he have normal urine flow and there is intermittent leakage of small amount of urine ?

Small amount of urine flow.

3) Does he have urgency?

He feel the urgency periodically but not always.

He is taking now Levoflox 500 Mg. Still we should give him Norfloxacin?

I heard generally surgery being done for leaking? Is there possibility of this also?

What we should do to avoid these recurrent infection

Answered by Dr. Dr. P. T. Patil (11 minutes later)

Brief Answer:
He does not require any surgery for leakage of urine.

Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for feedback .

The leakage he has is due to infection which will get resolved with antibiotics .

There is no need to take Norfloxacin in addition to Levofloxacin

Surgery is advised when patient has no control over urination and he is unable to hold on urine suggesting damage of the urethral sphincter during surgery.This is ruled out in your father's case .

Ensure he drinks more water .Have a patience Believe in nature and God .Time is a great healer.

Thanks and regards.
