Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I had a proctectomy 16 days ago and my urine has been clear for about a week.I started noticing some blood in my urine espacially when pushing a bowel movement. Is blood in the urine normal at this stage of recovery. I have a call into my doctor but thought I would check here
I suggest you to consult your urologist for clinical assessment since you have undergone prostatectomy recently. There is appearance of blood in urine after symptom-less period of clear urine. Blood in urine is suggestive of trauma to the urinary tract or kidney disease. Since, there is history of recent surgery, blood in urine is likely to be related to surgery.
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Shailja Puri, Pathologist and Microbiologist
