What Causes Blood In Urine After A Green Light Surgery?

My husband had green light surgery a month ago. Yesterday while working in his garage he started seeing blood in his urine which he had all night, this morning he passed a lot of large blood clots soon after started having a really good urine flow for the first time in years. a little while ago he went to the bathroom and said he peed pure blood. Has now drank a glass of cranberry juice and a 16 oz bottle of water and cant go. has the urge to go and all he has done is dribble a little blood. should he use a catheter.

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

In most cases, this is a sign of uro-infection or kidneys stones. This is mainly self-limiting which does not require any specific treatment, you should be patient, and have fluids to promote urination.

Less likely it may indicate possible bleeding in the urethra, bladder or kidneys from the popped vessel or some other cause. IF this continues you should do a urine analysis, urine culture and kidneys ultrasound to rule these main causes out.

You should drink raspberry tea and plenty of water till you do tests. Also, avoid sexual intercourse and keep good hygiene. You should reduce salt in your diet as well since this could lead to increased risk of a urinary stone formation.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Ivan R. Rommstein
