Hi I unfortunately had my robotic Procedure last Thursday can someone advise is it normal to have blood coming out to the side of the catheter when trying to use the toilet 

  • Hello  

    I haven't had surgery but I have had a catheter for 10 months. The idea is the catheter helps you with urination and not to "try" - it's possible you are forcing the issue.

    If it continues - and it shouldn't a call to 111 is needed or a visit to you local A & E. At least give your surgical team a call tomorrow morning - please don't ignore it.

    Let us know how you get on.

    Best wishes - Brian.
