What Causes Hematuria Post A TURP Surgery?
Question: About 3 months ago I noticed a tiny blood clot released during urination. Since that time it has happened 5-6 times, occasionally with a little blood in my urine. I had a TURP procedure done about 7yrs ago. Yesterday, I noticed it again after 20 minutes of yoga earlier in the day. Am in generally good health, and am sexually active (one partner). Do not feel anything unusual in my groin area.
