Underwent my second TURBT on Sept. 11. No pathology report yet.
Four about four or five days post-op, there was a very light amount of blood in urine, so I was pleased.
Approx post-surgery Day 6, I think I lifted a bit too much in terms of plastic grocery bags, as I felt a twinge. Immediately set 'em back into the car and lightened the load per trip into the house, of course.
But, that night, blood in urine was noticeably heavier ... although all clots were quite small. Urine then improved and went "pink lemonade" color for a couple days, with clots staying on the small side.
Now, on post-surgery Day 10, I just took one pee that was quite red and included one clot that was on the big side. In fact, had a slightly hard time passing that one.
I'm a little worried, but maybe I should lighten up a touch, considering it's only 10 days past the surgery date. And I did have to go back on my blood thinners (heart doc wasn't going to let me put those on hold for more than 5 days post-surgery.)
I also wonder if sitting too much at work plays a role.
In general, I actually feel good, any pain just above the plumbing has been very minor.
This being Friday evening here, I guess I'll just go to the emergency department if the clots make passing urine difficult this weekend. Otherwise, if the blood stays quite red, I'll call my urologist on Monday.
Any thoughts? Am I over-worrying this?
