Had ICD Implant, Also Had A Traumatic, Damaging Foley Insertion. Bleeding When Urinating. Quick Sweat, Dizzy. Recommendations?

husband- 4.5 days post ICD implant, also had a traumatic and damaging foley insertion. It was removed 2 days ago, All seemed well, but last night he began bleeding when he had an extreme urge to urinate. His urine was slightly red tinged, but was proceeded by a significant blood- (left a trail to the commode.) He also ran a quick sweat, got very dizzy, ?Perhaps a large clot passed? all seems well now, one hour later, very slight bleeding, No temp, no dizziness, no sweat- ne's resting, should i be more concerned?

Hi there ~

I understand your concerns. You husband probably passed a clot which was in the area of healing and it is something that you need to be concerned about if you saw that there a significant amount of blood in the urine. I also think that you might need to observe him for some more time while adequately hydrating him and noticing his urine for further bleeding, in which case he needs to be taken to the ER and might need blood transfusion depending on the amount of blood lost.

I hope this helps. Take care and have a lovely day!
