He nowhe has dark brown clots and dark brown strings. This is at the initial part of his stream when he voids. Is this normal?
Brief Answer:
Bleeding afetr Prostate biopsy is a known complication
Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for your query,based on the facts that your husband has undergone biopsy of the prostate 10 days back and since then he is getting blood from his urethra .
Bleeding after biopsy of the prostate is a known complication and occurs due to accidental puncturing of one of the vessel in prostate .
Generally with antibiotics and supportive measures it gets resolved within 4-5 days ,
However since he is taking Aspirin it is one of the additive factor to cause dein delaying to get it resolved .
You can discuss with your Urologist to discontinue taking Aspirin for few days and continue taking Antibiotic prescribed by your Urologist .
If he develops clot retention he may need to get the clots evacuated endoscopically .
Wait for one more week and expect the issue to get resolved spontaneously .
Hope I have answered your query ,please feel free to ask if you have more questions ,I shall be happy to help you
Thanks and Regards.
