Had Radical Prostatectomy Previously. Having Symptoms Of UTI. On Ciprofloxacin. Having Occassional Minor Bleeding. See Urologist?

I am a male who had a radical prostatectomy 4 years ago. One week ago, I started having symptoms of a UTI , and my primary care doctor put me on a ten day regimen of Ciprofloxacin six days ago. While the urgency and burning are exponentially better, I still have occasional minor bleeding when straining and pushing out the last few drops. Is this a major issue, and should I see my urologist?

Hello
Thanks for your query.Based on the facts that you have posted it appears that you have undergone Radical
prostatectomy 4 years back and has symptoms of UTI with slight bleeding at the end of the urination .

This is mostly due to cystitis and can be cured wit antibiotics that your family Physician has prescribed you.

However it is better to consult your Urologist for evaluation and as a routine follow up after Prostatectomy.
