Do not worry .Bleeding will stop .

Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for your query,based on the facts that you have posted it appears that you undergone Cystoscopy and cauterization 5 days back and still have bleeding .

This bleeding is from the raw area created due to cauterization and gradually stops as the wound heals up.The bleeding that you have is due to secondary hemorrhage that is common after cauterization.

Please ensure to take antibiotics for one more week.

Ensure to drink more water it will help to wash out the clots and help in healing .

Do not worry it is bound to stop within a week.
