Blood In Urine Still

Hello,

My husband had his bladder and prostate removed 2 weeks ago (15th Sept).

His cancer was found to be ‘high grade undifferentiated tumour with poorly differentiated carcinoma with areas of sarcomatoid and possible focal neuroendocrine differentiation’. 
No treatment available other than removal.

He spent a week in hospital and then had 3 nights at home and then 2 nights back in hospital, with a suspected infection (had IV antibiotics then home with oral antibiotics).

I am concerned that his urine bag is still just red with blood (after 2 weeks). Doctors and stoma nurses are aware.

i wondered what other people’s experience of this may be please. How soon the bleeding stopped after the op.

Thank you so much for sharing any experience you have of this.

  • I only had blood in the urine bag for 3 days post op but for 2 weeks after leaving hospital therefore 3 weeks post op I was getting a small amount of blood via the original (male) urine route. Sounds very different to my experience, have you had a home visit from your stoma nurse yet. Mine was an excellent source of information and what was normal etc.

  • thank you for your kind reply  and I hope all is well with you x

  • Thank you for taking the time to reply and share your experience  . My husband has also experienced that (which worried us) but this seems to have stopped.

    We saw the stoma nurse today and had sent photos (which she showed the surgeon). He thinks that it is the stents that may be irritating inside. 

    Hopefully, these come out Friday and things will settle Fingers crossed.

    Thanks again and best wishes x
