I had my hysterectomy last week done laparoscopically. They nicked the bladder so I have a catheter in whilst the bladder heals. I’ve notice a couple of red stringy like things which I assume is blood in the leg bag. The urine is a normal yellow colour and this has only been a couple of occasions since I left hospital last Wednesday.
Is this something I should be concerned about or is this normal as the bladder is healing? I’m not due to get the catheter removed until 17th December.
Hi EP17
It may well be due to the bladder healing but please give the hospital a call to get some reassurance, just in case it needs checking or there is an infection or something brewing. If you look on the discharge paperwork from your hospital, there should be a number to call.
You could also give the Support Line a call if you wanted to talk it through first.
