Brief Answer:
Might be Urinary tract infection.

Detailed Answer:
Good day, and thank you for being with HealthcareMagic!

It is not normal to have blood in the urine 7 months after prostate surgery. I'd suggest seeing your Urologist as soon as possible.

In the meantime drink plenty of water and limit physical activity. If it persists or it gets worse, please be advised go to the emergency room.

You may have urinary tract infection that is causing blood in your urine. For this, You may need an ultrasound and urinalysis to look into it further.

I hope I have answered your question, let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards
