How Long Will I Bleed After Getting Lithotripsy Done?
I had a lithotripsy done Tuesday morning. Woke up in severe pain after, but pain is bearable now. I am bleeding very bright heavy blood since then.
How long and how much should I bleed after? The hospital called to check on me and seems to think I could be hemorrhaging and the dr office laughed and said it was normal.
Hi, dear I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. You had lithotripsy.
Pain and bleeding is common after lithotripsy.
You may have slight bleeding for few days to few weeks. Your stone pieces are passing through ureter and it causes pain.
f you have heavy bleeding or difficult in urine passing or very small amount of urine then call your doctor. Otherwise slight bleeding and pain is common.
Drink plenty of water and for pain you can take analgesic drug like diclofenac sodium.
